Once Upon a Villain

Diana A. Hicks

A collection of prequels, short-stories, and bonus epilogues meant to introduce you to the Crime Society World, a dangerous world controlled by the powerful and ruthless men of the five original mafia families. Lost Raven: You’ll meet Massimo, the second son of a sitting Don, who’s lost his way after his mother’s death. His sister Caterina is caught up in a web of lies weaved by Rex Valentino, the new King of the Crime Society. Their epic love story can be read in King of Beasts, a mafia-esque retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Wolf's Lair: Santino and Luce share a forbidden love story that should not be miss. Luce wants to do right by her family and believes her arranged marriage to “the Butcher” is the answer to her problems. But Santino has other plans for her. Dark Beauty: Enzo and Aurora’s star-crossed lovers story starts when they are teenagers. They soon find out something darker lurks beneath the glitz and glamour of their elite school. This modern day Romeo and Juliet retelling is about never letting go. Escape My Love: Mia and Tyler (Chase) are a spinoff story from one of my early series. Tyler is caught between two worlds, playing spy for the FBI, while madly in love with his fake, mafia wife. One last note: I write dark romance with questionable situations that might be triggering. I trust you know yourself and will proceed with caution.
