ABOUT THE BOOK:

Venesa Andersen has never believed she is good enough.

After losing her parents, she is taken in by her powerful gangster uncle and grows into a cunning, beautiful, and fiercely loyal woman who carries out his demands without wasting time on a moral compass.

When Venesa’s runaway cousin returns to their Southern coastal town, she brings along a man who immediately captures Venesa’s attention. For the first time, someone seems to truly see and understand the woman beneath her carefully constructed exterior.

There is only one problem—he belongs to her cousin.

Enzo “Loverboy” Marino is a wealthy businessman during the day and a powerful prince of the underworld at night. As the underboss of a notorious mafia syndicate, he answers only to his father, one of the most powerful dons in the Northeast.

When Enzo is instructed to marry, he accepts his duty without hesitation. Then he meets his fiancée’s cousin.

Venesa is everything Enzo never realized he wanted. Her voice, beauty, intelligence, and darkness bewitch him, but giving in to their attraction could destroy the alliances and family loyalties controlling both of their lives.

As carefully constructed plans begin to unravel and temptation becomes impossible to resist, Venesa and Enzo must choose between their obligations to their families and a forbidden love that was never supposed to exist.

Hexed is a dark contemporary mafia romance inspired by The Little Mermaid in which the villain gets her happily ever after. It is the sixth standalone novel in the Never After series and is not fantasy or a literal retelling.
