Description

She's his past, his pain, his revenge... and his biggest weakness.

Fiero

I’m finally where I deserve to be: Don of the Bellucci mafia family and free of the monster who raised me. They call me the Devil for a reason. I’ve avenged every person who’s ever wronged me, except for one: Pfeiffer McAllister.

Fifteen years after she broke me, her uncle’s debt lands her in my club. I vow to make her remember exactly who I am, and to ruin her the way she ruined me.

But revenge becomes dangerous when obsession takes its place. And the more she trembles beneath my fingers, the more I realize I don’t want her begging for freedom.

I want her begging to stay.

Pfeiffer

One month working for the masked owner of New York’s most exclusive club, and the debt disappears. Simple. Until the mask falls, revealing Fiero Bellucci, the quiet boy my uncle forced me to torment when we were children.

He’s grown into something terrifying—a beautiful monster wrapped in bloodshed and Brioni, determined to ruin me for every scar I inflicted.

But somewhere between his cruelty and possessiveness, I stop wanting to escape. Because the most frightening thing about Fiero Bellucci isn’t that he wants to destroy me.

It’s that I think I’d let him.

Holy. Fuck.

I started this book today… and I finished it today. That alone should tell you everything you need to know because I literally could not put it down. The chemistry between these two was unreal. The spice? Let’s just say… I had to pause a couple of times because DAMN.

—Karina Rodriguez, Goodreads

I DEVOURED this book the moment I was able to dive into it. If you're ready for some emotional damage, a little heartbreak and absolute spicy scenes then this book should be right up a reader's alley.

—Paige Wuerdemann, Goodreads

Fiero and Pfeiffer's relationship is my new Roman Empire. And don't even get me STARTED on Chapter 9 because WHAT WAS THAT??? I genuinely think that was one of the hottest technically-non-spicy spice scenes I've ever read. The chemistry between these two was absolutely unreal. It wasn't just attraction, it was tension, longing, years of unresolved feelings...ugh, I was LOSING MY MIND.

—Kim Cass, Goodreads

The pacing is fantastic, the tension is addictive, and the spice is woven naturally into the story rather than overpowering it. By the final pages I wasn't ready to leave this world. This is an outstanding introduction [to the series] that leaves you desperate to see what comes next for the rest of the brothers. If the rest of the series is anything like this, it's going to be one to watch.

—Bookgirl, Goodreads

From the very beginning, I was completely invested. The tension between the main characters kept me turning the pages, and the chemistry was off the charts.

—Amanda Elliott, Goodreads

To Desire A Devil by @victoriahollidaywrites was insanely amazing. I cannot believe what I just read. I finished it so fast. My heart was all over the place.

—Jocelyn Driscoll, Goodreads

I devoured this book. To say this book had me in a chokehold is an understatement. It has it all, love, revenge, heartbreak, murder AND the smut and spice is top tier!!!

—Vix, Goodreads

Obsessed, I devoured this book! I was hooked. It had me absolutely feral and emotional at times which to me is the making of a great book!

—Laura H, Goodreads

Fiero and Pfeiffer... Oh my gosh, this is going to be an awesome series!!! I loved, loved, loved this book!!!! I couldn't put the book down and hated that it came to an end.

—Lori, Goodreads

I am a massive mafia romance fan, and this book delivered absolutely everything I love about the genre. Once I started, I could not stop. I finished it late into the night because it was impossible to put down! From the very first chapter, it refused to let go.

—Leonie Myint, Goodreads

To Desire a Devil by Victoria Holiday completely captivated me from the first chapter! The mystery surrounding Pfeffer and Fiero had me hooked, and their emotional, slow journey back to each other was beautifully written. The chemistry was incredible, the twists kept me guessing, and the steamy scenes absolutely delivered!

—Pat, Goodreads

The emotions I felt through this entire book is just ….WOW.

—Laineyb99, Goodreads

Loved it! First book I have read front to back without skimming through in months. The characters and story line were amazing, it flowed so well together and didn’t miss a beat!
