The Vibe

Rosa is a fiercely guarded mafia princess who has learned to hide her pain behind a wild, rebellious exterior. After being hurt by the people who were supposed to protect her, she struggles to trust again, even as Luca's presence awakens feelings she thought she'd buried.

Luca is a self-made mafia king who rose from the foster system to claim his place at the top. Ruthless, powerful, and intensely possessive, he has sacrificed everything to build his empire, but Rosa is the one thing he cannot bring himself to surrender. Their history, forbidden attraction, and complicated loyalties make their connection as dangerous as it is irresistible.

With enemies-to-lovers tension, mafia power struggles, forced proximity, an arranged marriage, and a deeply emotional romance, Devoted is a dark and steamy story about two people caught between family loyalty, past trauma, and a love powerful enough to threaten an entire empire.
