The Italian Rose I & II ~ C. R. Mitchell
Gripping & Suspenseful Mafia Series
Finalist
One man dreams of growing his legacy while another man plots to strip it from him.
Rosario grew up impoverished, but his poverty did not stifle his ambition. A veteran of The Great War, he returned to Brusnengo, married, and built Beretta Vineyards: a lifelong dream and legacy to support his family for generations. But success comes at a high price, one that Rosario Beretta is not prepared to pay.
​
The Godfather, Don Salvatore, has a greedy eye and squeezes Rosario, demanding Rosario's daughter or his profitable vineyard as payment. Rosario's decision proves deadly. Now, something far more valuable than his legacy is in peril.
Angelina thought the day of her family’s attack was the worst day of her life. She was wrong.
At the blissless celebration, the provincial Godfather, Don Salvatore, informs Angelina of her role in his wicked plan to destroy her family and seize control of Beretta Vineyards. She fights back but discovers Don Salvatore is far more powerful and cunning than she is. Angelina is doomed to become the Godfather’s puppet without her father’s protection.
​
When a stranger discreetly delivers a note from her father’s American friend, a spark of hope fuels Angelina’s escape plan. Convinced the American is the key to protecting her family’s vineyard, Angelina sets out to find him. But Don Salvatore’s assassins follow, making a perilous journey deadly.
​
Her path is wrought with disaster and deceit. People will die, and Angelina will have the worst day of her life.
