About The Sweetest Oblivion
Nicknamed Sweet Abelli for her docile nature, Elena smiles on cue and has a charming response for everything. She's the favored daughter, the perfect mafia principessa — or was. Now all she can see in the mirror's reflection is blood staining her hands like crimson paint. She's a romantic at heart living in the most unromantic of worlds. When her father betroths her to Nicolas Russo, the most dangerous Made Man in New York, Elena must navigate a world of violence, loyalty, and forbidden desire. Nico is everything she should fear — cold, calculating, and utterly magnetic.
