A Brand New Mafia Romance from the Amazon Top 40 Bestselling author of Deal with the Devil...

*Now an Amazon Top 100 Bestseller*

Lourdes: I have one goal. Survive my abusive husband long enough to escape. Every bruise, every insult, every sacrifice has a purpose. I'm saving money and waiting for the day I can take my disabled sister and run. Then Ares Zervas crashes into my life. On paper, he’s the breathtaking CEO of Zervas & Company. In the shadows, he’s the powerful and lethal head of the Greek Mafia. And the last man I should ever trust. When my company mysteriously closes out of nowhere, he offers me a job as his personal assistant.

I tell myself it's temporary. A chance to earn enough money to leave sooner. A chance to remember the woman I was before my husband tried to convince me I was worthless. But the more time I spend with Ares, the harder it becomes to ignore the way he looks at me. Like I'm something precious. Like I'm his. Then my husband ends up dead. And suddenly other dangerous men are coming after me too. Men who fear Ares Zervas. Next, I’m married to him. Bearing his name. Wearing his ring. And sharing his bed in a fake marriage with benefits arrangement I fell into because I could no longer resist him.

I still have my goal. My sister still needs me. He doesn’t. Men like Ares don't fall in love. And I'm terrified of how much it will hurt when he proves me right.

Mafia Obsession (Ares's Story) is Book One in the new series: American Mafia.

Now we are talking! I love romantic suspense, and this book pushed all the right buttons for me. When Lourdes crosses the path of Ares, he knows she is his next conquest. There is nothing he doesn't get when he wants it, so he easily creates her path to him and she becomes his personal assistant. But what he didn't expect was the craziness that comes with her. She is being followed, but by who and why? Plus there are secrets she is keeping. Ares is exactly who he says he is, and his alpha protector personality is exactly what made me love him (and Aaron Shedlock's portrayal of him). Lourdes is surprised, adventurous and on edge while falling in love. Where does it all go? I can't tell you! So much goes on and the twists and turns are just the icing on the cake as each one happened. Loved this and cannot wait for the next in the series.

Aaron Shedlock and Allyson Voller are the story tellers and WOW. Shedlock pulls out his alpha male voice creating the older, dangerous, sensual man. His take on this character is spot on and could not have been better. Voller is Lourdes and I love how she grows throughout this story. From an innocent, to a woman with a mission, her voice changes with experience and safeguarding. These two complimented each other and created a fabulous listen. Add in Anthony Palamini with his quick preview for the next story, and I could not have been happier!

The best romantic suspense!

Mafia Obsession by Deborah Garland is a mafia romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Aaron Shedlock, Allyson Voller and Anthony Palmini. This is the first book in the American Mafia series.

I loved the relationship that bloomed between Ares and Lourdes. Their relationship was messy, but I couldn't help but root for them. I really enjoyed getting both of their points of views throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.

I can't wait for the next book in the series Bratva and Betrayal to be released on September 23, 2026, so I can get Kirill and Sandrine's story.

Aaron, Allyson, and Anthony did an amazing job on the narration. They really know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you're looking for a mafia romance, age gap romance, or forced marriage romance.
