Smoky Lies & Scarlet Kisses - Paperback

by Faith Quackenbush (Author)

In the gritty underworld of 1920s organized crime, two powerful families-Morilli and DeLuca-have been at war for generations. Bound by blood and betrayal, their battle for dominance has left the streets soaked in violence and the speakeasies filled with whispers of revenge.

Vic DeLuca, the sharp-witted and ruthless heir to the DeLuca crime family, has spent his entire life following his father's rules, knowing that disloyalty means death. But everything changes when he crosses paths with Juliet Morilli, the fiercely independent and dangerous daughter of the Morilli syndicate. A pawn in her family's deadly game, Juliet refuses to be used-and when she and Vic are thrown into an impossible situation, their hatred turns into something far more dangerous.

Forced to choose between their families and each other, Vic and Juliet escape into the shadows, building their own path as they burn bridges behind them. But their betrayal sparks an all-out war, and in a world where trust is scarce and love is a weakness, they must fight not only to survive-but to take control.
