Prince of Hearts

(Verona Legacy #1)

by

L.A. Cotton

 

A new angsty college mafia romance from bestselling author of the Rixon Raiders series.

Arianne Capizola is her father’s daughter.

Humble. Hardworking. Honest.

She’d rather spend her days helping at the local shelter than brushing shoulders with her vain and entitled classmates.

Niccolò Marchetti is his father’s son.

Dark. Dangerous. Deceitful.

He’d rather spend his days getting bloody in the ring than attending class and keeping up pretences.

When their paths cross at Montague University neither of them are willing to drop the walls they’ve spent so long building. But he can’t resist the girl with stars in her eyes, and she can’t forget the guy who saved her that night.

There’s only one catch.

Nicco isn’t Arianne’s knight-in-shining-armor, he’s the son of her father’s greatest enemy.

He is the enemy.

And their families are at war.



*Prince of Hearts in the first book in Nicco and Ari’s duet. Due to mature content that some readers may find distressing, this book is recommended for readers 18+

The devil you know isn’t always better. Prince of hearts is the first instalment of a duo. It’s inspired by Romeo and Juliet in a creative tale of love and war.

Arianne Capizola is the daughter of a powerful man. She’s lived a sheltered life. When she’s allowed the freedom to study at Montague university the cracks in her family life begin to appear. Her identity is kept a secret but her cousin Tristan is close by if she needs him. Unfortunately Tristan’s best friend is a family friend and interested in Arianne. Scott isn’t the type of man she would choose but after some persuasion she agrees to go on a date with him. When things go terribly wrong she’s in need of a Prince.

Niccolo Marchetti is not a good man. He’s grown-up inside the mafia and a prince of dominion. When he finds a damsel in distress he should walk away. Niccolo and Arianne have a connection but what happens when he finds out who she really is?

I really enjoyed this dark romance. I like the Shakespeare references and the twisted story path. This does have scenes (not graphic) which some readers may find disturbing but it adds fuel to the hate. I look forward to reading the concluding part.

*I received an ARC in waiting for the tour which will commence for book two in August.
