Dark mafia romance

Hello, dark romance lovers! 💋

I’m Jessica L. Cox, the author of Bones of the Forbidden, and I am beyond excited to share something deliciously dark and addictive with you.

While I'm hard at work crafting the highly-anticipated second book in the Secret World series (Bones of the Wicked is in the works!), I couldn’t resist venturing into something a little different.

Writing Dark Obsession was an exhilarating, wild ride—a dark mafia romance that pushed me creatively in the most thrilling ways. And I had so much fun creating it.

Now, I’m beyond excited to share this deliciously dark and addictive story with you. Dark Obsession is set to release on May 15th, but you can secure your copy early when preorders open on April 10th!

So, why should Dark Obsession be your next must-read? Let me give you a taste.

Meet Dario Russo. A man whose power and presence command fear and respect. He’s dangerous, ruthless, and unapologetically possessive. And when he sets his eyes on Katrina, nothing will stop him from making her his. Their connection is instant, electric, and absolutely intoxicating.

But here’s the real kicker—Katrina’s father’s past holds secrets that tie her to Dario’s world in ways she could never have imagined. What feels like fate is actually something far darker. As their worlds collide, obsession becomes a weapon as much as it is a pleasure.

Want a glimpse of what’s waiting for you? Here’s a tease:

“There’s something about you, Katrina.” His voice was thick with lust—raw, potent, and somehow laced with a warning. Or maybe a promise. I couldn’t tell which.

His thumb pressed into my lower lip, and I trembled.

“Fuck it,” he growled, and his lips crashed against mine.

And I let him.

The kiss wasn’t just passionate—it was consuming, a wildfire raging through me, leaving no room for hesitation, no space for doubt. My fingers tightened in his shirt, pulling him closer to me, and he met me with a fierce, unrelenting intensity—pure heat and desire, deep and all-encompassing.

His lips—possessive, demanding—devoured mine, and every brush of his tongue shot electricity through me. My body arched, desperate and compliant, every inch of me burning for him.

My pulse thundered in response, my fingers tangling into the fabric of his shirt as I matched his fervour, surrendering to the heady intoxication of him. He tasted of something dark and rich, something forbidden, and I wanted more.

A low growl vibrated in his chest as his strong hands framed my face, tilting me into him, deepening the kiss until I was drowning—consumed, lost, and aching. I was a woman undone, every nerve alight with the sinful weight of his desire.

“Kat, we need to find Cas and—”

Sara’s voice sliced through the moment, yanking me back to reality. She stopped short, eyes widening with delighted amusement as she caught us.

“Oh. My. God!” she gasped, a giggle slipping past her lips.

I stumbled back, breathless, dazed, and burning. The heat of Dario’s touch still clung to my skin, his taste lingering on my lips like the most addictive sin. The world around me felt distorted, everything else fading away beneath the intensity of what had just happened.

You can feel it, right? That intensity, that magnetic pull between them. And trust me, it only gets better—or worse, depending on how dangerous you like your romances.

Make sure to mark your calendars: Preorders open on April 10th, and Dark Obsession officially releases on May 15th!
