A Devil's Mercy

A Dark Mafia Romance · Sable Voss

The enforcer who will not give his name bleeds out on her table.

Dr. Alessia Moretti is thirty, four years attending, and she does not moonlight for ghosts. She recognizes the Ravelli ink and packs the wound anyway. A second shooter hits the lot. She takes him to a cousin’s empty house in Revere—not a hospital transfer he would not survive.

Nico Ravelli is twenty-nine and a period someone needs to write. He overheard his father and a helpful lieutenant the night before the terrace. He will not touch her until the fever is down and she says now.

She wants him alive. Then she wants him. The empire still has a man Dante will not shoot. February still has a contract with someone else’s name on it.

They get a door that is theirs. She does not quit medicine. He does not quit the family.

Mercy, it turns out, is a shift they invent.
