Marked by the Mafia Heir

Sevi Russo has one rule: never be useful to the Anelli organization again.His family already paid that debt in full. Twenty-four years of living in the shadow of a faction's collapse, of carrying a surname that organizational men treat like a file number rather than a person. He keeps his head down, runs his courier routes, and manages everything that needs managing. He doesn't owe anyone anything.Then a man at an adjacent Registry counter marks him on a Tuesday morning without warning, without asking, and without apology. The Mafia heir's biology chose him before his name did. Dante Anelli is not supposed to want what he can't control. He has an inheritance to defend, a succession contest to win, and a father who has been planning his bonding since before Dante was old enough to understand what bonding cost. He didn't plan to mark anyone at a Registry counter at nine AM on a Tuesday. He didn't plan for the way Sevi Russo read the notification document in four minutes flat and looked up with fury in his eyes and said: you have no right to do this.He didn't plan for the part where that made him certain. Now Sevi has thirty days before the provisional marking advances and a Mafia organization's administrative machinery decides his future for him. He has an old neighborhood that knows what Anelli men cost the people adjacent to them. He has a mother who signs nothing without reading it first and a best friend leaving for Rome and a catacomb entrance behind an unmarked door that has been his before anything else tried to claim him.He also has a man who follows streets until they stop having names and goes underground because the surface isn't sufficient and draws buildings that serve what's underneath rather than covering it.Both things are true at the same time. The Anelli organization has a succession contest and a strategic bonding and thirty years of administrative authority over the Registry's Omega designation system. Dante's father has plans that don't include a penniless courier from the wrong district who reads every document completely before he signs it.Sevi has one question: is the person Dante Anelli is underground the same person he is everywhere else?Everything depends on the answer.---Marked By The Mafia Heir is a dark MM Omegaverse romance set in a speculative future Naples. It features a Mafia heir whose inheritance includes his mother's architectural principles and the private sketchbook nobody has seen, and an Omega from the city's oldest neighborhood who has been managing everything alone since he was nineteen and is about to find out what it feels like when something is entirely his to choose.This is not a story about being claimed. It is a story about choosing. Content includes: involuntary marking, organizational coercion, administrative power imbalance, dissolution document, explicit heat and biological progression, succession-related danger, significant power differential, dark dubcon elements, and an HEA that required two years and eight months and a glass floor above a catacomb to earn.For readers who want their Omegas intelligent, their Alphas self-aware enough to know what they've done, and their endings built from the bottom up. The Underboss Series, Book 2.HEA guaranteed.
