Lorenzo: A Grumpy/ Sunshine, Dark mafia Romance (Deluxe) (Chicago Ruthless #3) by Sadie Kincaid

A high-angst mafia romance about a man who chose love over power—and paid for it with everything. Lorenzo is soaked in grief and devotion, following a Cosa Nostra heir who swore he’d never love again… until a bruised, sunshine-bright woman crashes into his guarded world and makes him feel alive when he’s been half a soul for years.

Lorenzo Moretti was born to lead the Cosa Nostra, but he chose love over his birthright. On his wedding day, his father cursed the union, swearing on blood that Lorenzo and his wife would never know happiness. Fate proved him right—Lorenzo loses his wife and is left hollow, shattered, and determined to never love like that again.

He keeps that promise for two years. Until her.

She shows up seeking refuge behind the Moretti walls—beaten and bruised, rolling in with an old Mustang, a dress the color of sunshine, and a smile that doesn’t match the damage she’s carrying. She’s no damsel, and Lorenzo isn’t a white knight. She’s loud, unfiltered, and endlessly sunny in a way that gets under his skin. She’s everything he doesn’t want… and maybe exactly what he needs.

Because there’s only so long you can stand in the sun before you give in to its heat.
