THE CARUSO FAMILY

Book 1: Razor - The Caruso Family
Not A King. Not A Savior. The Executioner. Razor Blades and His Darkside.
Book 2: Havoc - The Caruso Family
Not A King. Not A Savior. The Executioner. Havoc and His Wrath Unleashed.
From glittering Eastside art galleries to forbidden Westside Romances, and from the blood-soaked streets of the North to the brutal battlegrounds of the South - The Caruso name is both legacy and curse. Enemies circle like wolves, alliances fracture with a single bullet, and love burns hottest where survival costs the most.
The Staten Island Underboss Series is a dark mafia romance saga of power, betrayal, and dangerous obsessions - where family is everything, loyalty is a weapon, and passion can destroy as easily as it saves.
Razor: The Caruso Family Book 1
I'm Giovanni "Razor" Caruso - underboss of Staten Island, 6'7 of muscle, tattoos, and the kind of man who doesn't apologize for taking what he wants. I don't do suits, small talk, or heartbreak. But when I walk into Dynasti Emory Larevon - Mallucci's gallery on the Eastside, I find myself doing all three - well, at least the first two.
I'm there for a painting, something for my parents' anniversary. But one of Dynasti's pieces isn't just art, it's expensive, provocative, and somehow tied to her adoptive father, The Mallucci Family boss, a sworn rival of ours. Suddenly, her gallery is more than a place of beauty - it's a battlefield, and the woman running it? She's bold, bright, and green-eyed, with a laugh that makes me forget all the rules I live by.
Keeping her safe means breaking the law, facing enemies, and navigating the treacherous currents of Staten Island's underworld. She's not just my distraction; she's the spark in a world built of steel, guns, and blood. And as much as I tell myself she's off-limits, every moment near her is a dangerously addictive game.
Trigger Warning: Dark mafia romance, family rivalries, sharp humor, and deadly obsession are included. Contains strong sexual content and themes of murder.
Havoc: The Caruso Family Book 2
I'm Raimondo "Havoc" Caruso - 38, 6'8" of muscle, steel-gray eyes, and the kind of man who doesn't forgive, doesn't hesitate, and certainly doesn't care what anyone thinks. The Caruso family controls Northside and Southside Staten Island, but the DeCaprio family rules the Westside, and their Capo, Alessandro, thinks he can play games with my world.
Essence Simone Crosswell - 25, amber-eyed, fiercely independent, is tied to Alessandro, her so-called boyfriend, and a man who doesn't treat her right. But she doesn't realize the danger she's stepped into. By being close to Alessandro, she's now part of a deadly game she can't escape, and I don't play games.
I'm ruthless. I'm relentless. I don't forgive mistakes. Protecting Essence isn't a choice; it's war. Anyone who thinks they can claim her, control her, or hurt her will learn exactly why crossing a Caruso underboss is lethal. Essence will learn fast: loving me is ruthless, consuming, and forbidden. There's no turning back once you step into my world.
Trigger Warning: Dark mafia romance, family rivalries, sharp humor, and deadly obsession are included. Contains strong sexual content and themes of murder, control, and obsession.
