Publisher Description
How thin is the line between love and hate? Find out in Ciao Bella a brand-new standalone mafia romance from Rachel Van Dyken, the number one New York Times bestselling author of the Eagle Elite series.
The Five Families thought the war was over. They have no idea, I'm the very beginning.
I kidnapped her to prove a point—at knife point, it seemed sharper that way. See what I did there?
I used the perfect virginal daughter from one of the most powerful Families in the Cosa Nostra to fix the broken pieces, knowing that in the process—I’d spread hers for the world to see.
I would embarrass her, shame her, use her, but I would never touch her... my one and only vow to her father in exchange for his allegiance.
The flowers at our wedding would be extravagant—people would watch it like a celebration, she’d live it as her funeral. Call me twisted, but I thrive off her hate, I wouldn’t know what to do if I had her heart—I’m not good with pretty things I’m capable of breaking.
I’ll use every single person I can to restore order... to bring about the peace that my Family deserves. But something sinister lurks in the darkness.
In the end, it may not be just my Family I save but theirs as well.
They say the past comes back to haunt you—that history repeats itself. Bet they never saw this coming.
After all, when one Family falls—another will rise.
Ciao Bella.

That’s amore… RVD style
The only problem with this book is that there isn’t another one…. Love this series and I need RVD to write faster.
What a confusing read.
What a confusing read. I had to go back and see if this was the first in a series because I instantly felt like I was missing bits and pieces from this storyline and these characters, and with it being the first in a series, it made it a very difficult read. This book focuses on Ivan and Bella, who have been at extreme odds and fight like cats and dogs ever since Ivan was brought into the family. At this point, the family now has rules between their fighting, but everything changes one night, and Ivan uses Bella somewhat as a pawn and betrays the family through her. As I previously said, this was a rather confusing read, and maybe the only part of it that wasn’t confusing was the mystery behind the storyline and who Ivan was actually trying to bring down instead of the family who took him in.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Emotional roller coaster
Rachel has you p*ssed, happy, sad and everything in between during this insane ride. Ciao Bella is definitely a new favorite. Have the tissues ready, breakables out of reach and strap in for an insane ride.
