The next exciting novel in Rebecca Johnpee's Wicked trilogy where dark steamy mafia romance meets heist thriller.

Elio
They say obsession is a weakness. But I’ve never been stronger. No distractions. No softness. No Zahra.

Until she returns.

She’s trouble wrapped in a fantasy, and even as she threatens everything I've built, I find myself falling.

And for the first time in my life, I don’t want to stop.

Zahra
I’ve waited years for this.

Every lie, every con, every stolen secret has led me to the endgame.

Just as everything begins to fall into place, a ghost from my past appears. Now the clock is ticking. And if I make the wrong move, I won’t just lose the man I’m falling in love with.

I’ll lose everything.

Loving The Wicked is slow burn mafia meets heist romance that explores darker themes, subjects, and scenes that may not be suitable for everyone. Please see the author's content note at the beginning of the book.
