Twisted Pawn

Twisted Pawn by L.J. Shen is a dark romance that throws you into a glittering, brutal Mafia world where love and vengeance share the same trigger. It’s fast, sharp, and deliciously morally grey—perfect if you like your romance with danger bite and real emotional stakes.

Tierney Callaghan knows there’s a price on her head, and she’s pretty sure Achilles Ferrante is the one destined to collect. Their history is a tangle of betrayal, obsession, and unfinished business: she’s slipped from his grasp before, but this time the Camorra heir isn’t chasing for closure—he’s chasing to end it.

As the hunt tightens, the story digs into power, loyalty, and what happens when the person who once saw your humanity finally embraces the monster.

Ideal for readers who love enemies-to-lovers tension, antiheroes, high-stakes spice, and assassins, crime families, and cat-and-mouse suspense.

Add it to your basket and see who survives the inevitable.
