The Wicked by Rebecca Johnpee (Paperback)

Rebecca Johnpee bursts onto the dark mafia romance scene with The Wicked, the first book in The Wicked Trilogy, where mafia and heist romance collide in a scorchingly intense and unforgettable tale.

They call Elio “The Wicked,” a name he’s earned through blood, silence and the weight of every secret he carries. As head of the Marino Family, nothing slips past him. Not lies. Not weakness. Not fear. But when she walks into his world, everything tilts on its axis.

Zahra is dangerous, and she’s had to be. She grew up among men who treated bullets like sugar cubes, clawing her way up from the streets to build the most notorious gang of thieves in the country. Then a job goes badly wrong, and she and her crew find themselves held captive by The Wicked himself. Never one to waste an opportunity, Zahra will do almost anything to turn the situation to her advantage, even if that means working alongside her captor to pull off the biggest heist she’s ever dreamed of.

She’s dancing with the devil now, and the cost may be her body, her very soul. But she’s more than willing to pay the price, if it means she gets him.

This deluxe edition features gorgeous deep red sprayed edges. Please note this is a slow-burn dark romance exploring darker themes; see the author’s content note at the start of the book. Perfect for readers who love a dark mafia romance, an enemies-to-lovers heist and a slow-burning battle of wills.
