Empire of Thorns
A Dark Mafia Romance · Sable Voss
Miami closes on the North End. The fixer who knows every tunnel can sell the Ravellis by dawn. Gio Ravelli was never supposed to be the last door. Sloane was hired to open it. They choose him. Then they choose the family.
The paper already named the traitor. The city already believes it. That does not stop a siege.
Gio Ravelli is twenty-eight, street captain, cousin—the door Dante does not have to be. He was never meant to be the last one. Sloane is thirty, a fixer whose last name does not work, hired in secret by Miami to map the tunnels under the North End. The family hires them too. That is the double game.
He uses they once, correctly, and moves on. The attraction happens in a warehouse of guns. The price changes in a safe flat, then in a war.
Ciro Bellini dies. The port becomes a Ravelli–D’Amato joint: ugly, stable, earned. Gio is not the don. He is the door that stayed shut. Sloane does not pick a binary. They pick him. They pick the family.
Dark mafia romance. Siege. HEA for the couple. The series ends here.
