Carmelo's Malice

Carmelo never met his father. Carmelo Sr. died before he was born, but everyone says he's just like him. 

A living legacy. A shadow of a man he never knew.
Only, the legacy skipped him.

Carmelo would rather bleed in a cage than sit at a table with crime lords and talk profits and politics. He's quick to throw a punch, slow to play the long game, and he knows it. Every day reminds him he's not the heir his father was.

Catalina Costa makes sure of that.

Capo of the ruthless DeRucci Crime Family, Catalina's fire matches his own, and she's not afraid to burn him with it. She could take him down in a fight, and worse, he suspects she wants to. But behind the biting words and blazing stares, something else has been simmering.

Their chemistry is volatile. Their history? Complicated.

And then there's Cameron. The one caught between them, though he might just be the glue holding their chaos together. The truth is, soulmates might come in threes, and love might bloom in the ashes of war.

But the streets are shifting. The Crime Family is at war with the Rampage, and a darker threat lurks beneath the surface. Loyalties will be tested, blood will spill, and not everyone will make it out.

This isn't just a fight for control. It's a fight for survival.
