The Saint We Buried
A Dark Mafia Romance · Sable Voss
The brother who left the family comes home to bury a cousin and meets the reporter who has Ciro’s name. Publishing saves the city. It may bury the Ravellis. He wants her anyway.
A cousin dies in the North End. Official story: a heart. The living still have to stand in a chapel and lie with their faces.
Rafael Ravelli is thirty-five, out of the collar, not out of the blood. He left a parish the way he left the family: without asking permission. Eden Calve is thirty-three, Civic byline, years in the job. She did not come for the eulogy. She came for the lieutenant the city still calls helpful.
They meet now. He does not know her past and does not need it for the wanting. The secret is the story — Ciro Bellini, Stefano’s terrace, a route sold like weather. He asks her not to run it. She runs a version. Then Ciro tries to write a period on her, and Rafael has to choose the family silence or the woman who will not keep it.
She prints the name. The family does not murder a journalist. He stands with her in public. The empire stays on fire.
Dark mafia romance. Forbidden press. HEA for the couple. Book 5 in the Ravelli Empire series.
