Devil's Lily

Roselyn Ash

3.46

How do you go from blind date to shotgun wedding in a single afternoon?

You catch the eye of a man like Maximo Leonotti, that's how.

It's not like he had to force me. I was hooked on the stormy-eyed stranger from the moment we met… right up until I felt the pinch in my arm.

The next thing I know, I'm waking up on his private jet, halfway to Las Vegas. Apparently, for an impromptu wedding. Our wedding.

That's when the panic sets in. This can't be happening. I'm Elira Përmeti, daughter of Afrim, leader of the Albanian mafia. If I go missing, all hell will break loose.

But when I tell Maximo, he just smiles. Turns out, he already knows all of my secrets, and now it's time I hear one of his:

My father owes him a debt, and I'm the payment.

Devil's Lily is a standalone, dual pov dark mafia romance featuring a possessive, 'touch her and I'll unalive you' type anti-hero and a feisty, smart heroine. No OW drama, no cliffhanger, and a hard-won HEA.

    2.25⭐ The story lacked depth. The MC's relationship felt flat to me. There was physical attraction between them, but not much else, and it didn't get developed much. Elira was a bit too bubbly and occasionally acted very immature for her age. They barely communicated on a deeper level and couldn't understand why they were supposedly in love. The writing was a bit cringe at times. It is too bad the premise had promise, but it was not executed well at all.
