Gio has ruled Detroit since he was eighteen. He was handed a city soaked in blood and told to make it work. Twelve years later, he has everything. Still, nothing feels like enough. He fills the void with houses he never sleeps in, businesses he doesn’t need, and excess that never quite reaches the hollow place inside him.
Bailey was never supposed to matter. She’s just a chef at a small restaurant uptown, collateral in a deal meant to stay clean and uncomplicated… until she isn’t.
Bailey’s the one thing that should be off-limits… even to him.
Wicked Gluttony is a dark, obsessive story about power, possession, and the dangerous things we hide when love is treated as currency.

... Read moreAs an avid reader of dark mafia romance, I was immediately drawn to Wicked Gluttony due to its intense emotional depth and the complex characters of Gio and Bailey. Gio’s portrayal as a powerful city ruler who feels hollow despite his vast wealth and control reflects an intriguing exploration of loneliness behind power. On the other hand, Bailey’s situation as a chef unknowingly entangled in a darker game highlights the harsh realities many characters face in this genre—caught between survival and forbidden love.
The Scars From Sin Series has built a reputation for delivering dark, obsessive stories that combine gritty crime elements with passionate romance, and Wicked Gluttony promises to continue this tradition. The themes of possession and love as currency resonate deeply, especially in mafia romance readers who appreciate the tension created by power struggles intertwined with emotional vulnerability.
What I find compelling is how the author does not shy away from the darker sides of love and sin, portraying flawed characters who are both dangerous and emotionally complex. This not only adds layers to the plot but also keeps readers emotionally invested. The setting of Detroit, depicted as a city soaked in blood yet fiercely controlled by Gio, provides a vivid backdrop that enhances the story’s mood and stakes.

The book’s anticipated October release and pre-order availability create an exciting build-up for fans eager to immerse themselves in Gio and Bailey’s world.
