Why read it?
1 author picked Sempre as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book totally swept me away! Carmine, the ultimate bad boy with a soft spot, and Haven, the innocent girl caught in a world of mafia chaos, had me rooting for them from the start. Their love story is intense, heart-melting, and just the right amount of drama. I couldn’t put it down!

From Soraya's list on dark romance with over-the-top possessive men.
