5th of March 2026/ Mafia Don's Crimson Bride: by Piper Raven

 Deadly Don's Secret Baby Cover Image Bksprout   Book 15 of The Mafia Don Series

I crash the wedding next door because my best friend dares me to.

She says it’ll be fun. She says no one will notice.

By the time the groom is face-down on marble, his nephew steps forward, a ring is locked onto my finger, and his hand settles at my spine—steady, claiming—while the room waits for his permission to breathe.

That’s when I learn the wedding was never real.

There was no bride. There never was.
And somehow, I was always meant to be here.

Rocco Rizzo is nine years older. Cold. Controlled. Dangerous.
The kind of man whose presence pulls at me even when I know it shouldn’t.

Now I’m trapped in his world—his estate, his rules, his watchful gaze that lingers a second too long.

I was meant to take the fall. Not become his wife.

But the longer I stay, the harder it is to ignore the tension between us… or the secrets closing in.

Then my body changes everything. I’m pregnant with Rocco Rizzo’s child.

And now the most dangerous man in Seattle—the one I can’t stay away from, the one whose touch feels inevitable—is the only one who can keep me alive.

 4 STAR TITLED: Everyone underestimated Eva...at first
 
Eva Sarzetti has no idea what she has just walked into . But it's deadly and could have died  if not for Rocco Rizzo stepping up and claiming her as his bride. Blood happens before that? Yes, his Uncle Vincent is standing at the altar waiting for his bride when he suddenly falls down dead.  Rocco prevents chaos erupting as he has now inherited The Throne.  
Rocco really didn't want to get married but knew that he really had no choice. He "knew' his uncle had been murdered so that others could seize control. He loved his uncle but knew he had to do something right now. He was definitely going to investigate this ..later. 
Eva's best friend Gia Barbetti was the one that encouraged Eva so strongly to crash the party.  Have fun for once she says. She almost literally pushes out the door to do it.  Made me think Eva shouldn't be so trusting of her bestie.  Another uncomfortable character in the story is Rocco's father Mario.  He was the one that got passed over and he was SO smooth, but cunning like patient snake.  I didn't like him at all !
Rocco is really cool towards Eva in the beginning although none of this was her fault and he suspected that maybe she wasn't a plant.  He just had to be sure.  I couldn't believe how quickly, Eva just accepted everything.Of course, she soon learns how dangerous her life has become. Most people don't trust her or her ability to stay and survive because she was just a "civilian". 
The story slows down quite a bit for a while because everyone has to be so patient. UNTIL things finally start moving.  Eva and Rocco have their "hot times" together and finally start working together. Eva refuses to continue to be used or left behind.  
Everything comes to a great conclusion with Justice being served and a new future being built.  The Epilogue shows even more of that future.  

 I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
