"I just love Dana's writing, the plot is very well thought out, fast paced and full of action, and as I've said before with her work, every word is relevant. The story has everything, romance, revenge, 'blood', 'honor', suspense, action, you name it this book covers it. Dana Delamar is definitely an author to watch." - Jane, Lindsay and Jane's Views and Reviews blog

"From the very first page I was sucked into a world of revenge, family bonds, bloodshed, romance and I was hooked!" - PattySue, Amazon reader

"...once i got started with Malavita, I could not, would not put it down. The storyline is captivating from the beginning.... Not only do you have a fantastic love story, but the mob is involved...I felt dirty (in a good way) just reading it. Written expertly. Exciting, fun, action, suspense, love, honor, loyalty....just fantastic!!" - Liz Cabrejos, Amazon reader

ENRICO LUCCHESI

Carlo Andretti murdered my mother and my brothers. He left my father a hollow shell of a man. And for these sins, Carlo Andretti must die.

I can’t believe my ears when my father tells me that I must marry Carlo’s daughter. That it’s the only way to save our family.

I will never love the daughter of my enemy. I will never make peace between our families. I will never be the dutiful Mafia prince my father wants.

But I will destroy the Andrettis, and I will avenge my family. No matter who I hurt, even the girl who looks at me with love in her eyes.

She doesn’t know me, and she doesn’t know my past or what I’m planning. If she did, she wouldn’t look at me that way. She’d hate me, the way I hate her father. And truly, that would be for the best.

I can never love Antonella Andretti.

I can only destroy her.

ANTONELLA ANDRETTI

I can hardly remember the time before I loved Enrico Lucchesi. Just like I can hardly remember the time before our families were at war. A war I helped cause. A war I’m determined to end.

Our marriage will bring peace. It might even bring us happiness.

If only Enrico can forget who I am. If only he never learns my role in what happened. If only he can forgive me.

But some sins are unforgivable.
