Release Blitz - His Vicious Desire by Fiona Murphy

Title: His Vicious Desire

Author: Fiona Murphy

Genre: Dark Mafia Romance

Tropes: Brother's Best Friends/Plus-size Woman

Release Date: May 30, 2025

BLURB

"You're many things, princess. Worth dying for isn't one of them." It's something Gaetano has said often. Because if he ever touched me, my brother would kill him, best friend or not. He promised our mother, as she lay dying, that I would never be involved with anyone from the mafia. I would never know more of the world that she blamed for ruining her life.

So, falling in love with Gaetano was the worst thing I could have done for both of us. On the night of my eighteenth birthday party, I crashed into him, and nothing feels like it will be the same again—including me.

Three years of longing exploded in a moment neither one of us thought would happen. The lie wasn't planned. When he realized he didn't have birth control, I told him that he didn't need it, terrified he'd find another excuse once the heat of the moment passed. The thing about growing up with the Outfit is that you learn things, like how to get what you want through manipulation to avoid bloodshed. So I keep lying because my brother won't kill the father of my baby, member of the Outfit or not. But will Gaetano forgive me when he finds out I lied and got pregnant on purpose?

While this book features Sandro and Carina from His Vicious Vow, you need not have read it to enjoy this. This is a standalone romance featuring a plus-size woman and a jealous, possessive mafia man with no third-act break-up and rough scenes some may find offensive.

AUTHOR BIO

Due to commitment issues I have lived in many different cities and my favorite is Chicago but I have managed to settle into Austin and perhaps my commitment issues are behind me. 

I have enjoyed reading from a very young age and it wasn't long before the children books bored me and I read the books my mother enjoyed Stephen King and Dean Koontz and I didn't sleep without the light on until I was about ten. 

I came across my first Harlequin by accident and it was love at first read, no one died and happy endings? It was a whole new world and I loved it. 

I wrote my first story at eight and everyone died, of course. Since then I would like to think I've gotten better and now I'm writing the happily ever afters I first fell in love with, with some hot sex thrown in along the way. 

As a plus size woman myself, I have started writing the stories I always wanted to see myself in but never did. And now I’m ecstatic to give BBWs the happily ever afters with hot Alphas I want to read.

The moment I laid eyes on the curvy woman, I wanted her something awful. I'm not a good man and never pretend to be. I make no promises and am always honest that it's pleasure I'm looking for and nothing more—until her. I lie to her and myself.

There was a plan when she was brought to me. Only for every part of it to change. I needed answers only she could give me. She hesitated but accepted the bargain I offered her. I tell her I'll let her go. I promise if she tells me no, I'll accept it. But I can't, not when she's lying to me and herself.

I should let her go. She is a civilian who doesn't belong in my world and doesn't want to be here. Except I am a devil, and I take what I want. I'll never let her go. Now, I just have to make her want to stay.

Bargain with the Devil is an Irish mafia dark romance featuring a plus-size woman. It includes rough scenes and a pregnancy through manipulation. If such things offend you, please do not buy.

Release Blitz - Matteo by Fiona Murphy

Title: Matteo

Series: Castillo Family #3

Author: Fiona Murphy

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Tropes: Plus Size/Curvy Woman, Interracial

Billionaire, Abusive Ex, Single Mom

Age Gap, Doctor/Patient

Release Date: July 13, 2024

BLURB

Within weeks of my thirty-ninth birthday, I lost my thirty-ninth patient and all feeling. I was certain it would pass, only it continued into the next day and the weeks after.

In order to treat my patients, I needed to feel something. Without feeling, I couldn't stay. Not in oncology and not in Baltimore.

So, I'm back in Dallas after more than twenty years gone. Home, my mother keeps saying with happiness.

Happiness I still can't feel more than four months after that day. I'm beginning to accept feeling isn't coming back.

Until the moment I walk into an exam room and look into her eyes. All at once, feeling comes rushing back as suddenly as it disappeared.

She’s my patient. It’s all kinds of wrong to want her, no matter what television portrays. Add in the fact she’s running from an abusive husband. I should be staying far away from her, not taking her and her daughter home with me.

But I can’t walk away from her. They’re living in a crappy motel, barely surviving. I have a room, a safe place for her to recover and heal. She needs time and patience before she's strong enough for me to tell her the way I feel.

I'll give it to her. And hopefully, she'll grow strong enough to trust in me and fall in love with me the same way I've fallen for her and her baby daughter.

There’s one shadow over our growing happiness: the man who beat her badly enough to send her running. I’ll do whatever it takes to ensure he never gets close enough to Amy or her daughter to ever hurt them again. My money should be enough to get him to leave us alone, but if it’s not, I have no problem using any means necessary.

***Trigger warning for domestic violence on page. I apologize in advance to all those who’ve gone through abuse (I have as well, and it hurt like heck to write.). This will break your heart. But I promise it will be put back together by the end.

Another warning for my long-time readers. I’m sorry to say this is a slow burn. Nothing else made sense after all she’s been through. But I promise, it’s still a me story, and once we get there…it’s all there. All the yummy bad/goodness you expect to find in every story I write.

Release Blitz - Descent into Madness by Fiona Murphy

Title: Descent into Madness

A Dark Cartel Romance

Series: When Titans Fall #1

Author: Fiona Murphy

Genre: Dark Cartel Romance

Tropes: Arranged Marriage/Age Gap

Release Date: August 25, 2023

BLURB

I’m told the man I’m to marry is a psychopath. He doesn't feel. They say it’s a good thing, no feeling means no anger for me to fear. Except they don’t see the flip side. If he can’t feel, he can never love.

He saved me by ending my boyfriend who refused to take no for an answer. Only Manuel Rodriguez is no savior. He’s the lethal enforcer of the all-powerful Rodriguez cartel. His father and brother handle their drugs and money. Manuel handles their death and destruction.

I wasn’t supposed to be there. I’m a good girl. I was raised to be a perfect mafia princess, destined to be the wife of a powerful mafia capo.

My rebellion against my destiny culminated in me thanking him on my knees. And ended the moment I was back on my feet.

For Manuel, my way of thanking him wasn’t enough. He needs a mother for his children. I need to protect my mother and myself from my father’s misdeeds.

Now one question remains: Can a marriage without love and made of lies survive?

Because I lied when I told myself I married him to protect my mother. I lied by omission when I didn’t tell him the secrets he asked for. I have a secret. A secret that could destroy everything, including a marriage I’ll do anything to keep.

While this is the first book in a series it is a standalone and does not end in a cliffhanger.

This a romance with dark elements including rough scenes. There is also discussion of multiple miscarriages causing mental distress including hospitalization by the mother of Nicolette. If such things offend you please do not buy.

Release Blitz - His Vicious Vow by Fiona Murphy

Title: His Vicious Vow

Series: Vicious Vegas #1

Author: Fiona Murphy

Genre: Dark Mafia Romance

Tropes: Age Gap Romance

Release Date: April 21, 2023

BLURB

The barely old enough to drink girl I’m forced to marry is an anime loving, manga reading, selective mute brat who wears too much eyeliner that highlights the anger in her eyes. Neither of us want this marriage but it will happen. I’ve worked too hard for too long not to do whatever it takes to run Vegas on behalf of the Outfit.

I’m not surprised when Carina runs. What I wasn’t ready for is how much I want to catch her. Not because I have to marry her, because I want to—want her. I want her for her. Panic attacks, eye liner, curvy gorgeous body and all. The problem comes with convincing her.

Carina may take some to believe me, believe in me. I’m not worried. We have all the time in the world because she belongs to me and I’m never letting her go.

***This features rough sexual scenes and a young woman using substance to self-medicate. And a ‘warning’ I never thought I would have to include is there is pregnancy in the book. If such things offend you please do not buy. This is a standalone that takes place in the Sabatini world. Milos and Celia from Beautiful Broken Obsession also appear as Carina is Celia’s sister. You need not have read any other book to enjoy this. If you want to, the book that leads directly into this is HIS: Luca. ***

BLURB

Phoenix Raymond is a puzzle. Despite her father selling her to a sick man when she was only a child, she’s a true virgin at twenty-four. Somehow she’s an FBI agent without ever having set foot in Quantico. And most importantly, she wants to destroy my family—but she’s my wife.

She wants us to pay for the skin trade we dealt in. It doesn’t matter we got out of that a long time ago. The debt for her is personal. The woman is tenacious, a problem who refuses to go away. Two weeks ago I demanded my brother allow me to end her as a problem. He denied my request and told me to figure out another way. One week ago he told me to find a wife. When she shows up on my doorstep broken and bleeding, I solve her problem and mine.

Once she’s healed, she thinks she can walk away—that she has to walk away. She thinks because her…needs are different that I won’t want her, won’t be the daddy she craves, that I’ll leave her the way everyone else has. What she doesn’t understand is she belongs to me. She is mine to keep, to protect, to be whatever she needs. I will never let her go. Not even a bullet and blood will buy her freedom. I’m a Levin, Bratva, and we keep what’s ours.

This is the second book in the Bratva Bound standalone series. You need not have read the first to enjoy this one. Please see the content warning in the look inside feature that will link to my website or my website page for Beautiful Broken Vengeance. There are definite triggers.

Release Blitz - Beautiful Broken Obsession by Fiona Murphy

Title: Beautiful Broken Obsession

Series: Bratva Bound #1

Author: Fiona Murphy

Genre: Dark Mafia Romance

Release Date: May 31, 2022

BLURB

“You’re getting married. Milos Levin needs a wife. He heads the Russian mafia—Bratva—here in Chicago. It’s time for him to get married, he wants kids and he wants them soon.”

Ice slides down my spine. Milos Levin is a man who has haunted my dreams and nightmares for the last four years. As the daughter of the Don of the Outfit, I knew this was a possibility. Yet I hoped since I made it to the ancient age of twenty-three, I was safe from a mob marriage. I’m the weird cat lady, too fat, and my mother is half Filipino. I shouldn’t have anyone asking for me—but Milos isn’t asking for me.

All he wants is a woman who fits his needs, someone who will cement his relationship with the Outfit and give him the children he wants. He would take my sister if she were willing because, as he told Carlo, all women are the same in the dark. But Carlo picked me, and I’ll do anything to protect my little sister.

Or so I tell myself—but that’s the biggest lie of all. The truth is four years ago I met Milos Levin on a freezing February morning, and I’ve never been the same since. I’ll marry him because I think that day, as crazy as it sounds, I fell in love with him.

But I can’t let Milos know that. Ever. He’s mafia, and whatever the name, their ways are all the same: take until there’s nothing left, then leave the enemy broken. I won’t be broken by him, or anyone. I won’t become my mother, willing to endure the affairs and lies in exchange for the money and status.

***

Four years and three months—one thousand, five hundred and forty-seven days—I have known Celia was mine. I have watched over her, listened to her, protected her. There is nothing I have not done and would not do to keep her safe and mine.

What it started as. I do not know. but now it can only be defined as an obsession. Celia is mine. Like me, she has known it all this time. Why she is suddenly fighting me as our wedding day draws closer, I do not understand. It does not matter. The day is nothing more than a formality.

I have never claimed to be a good or patient man. For her I was. That time is at an end. My kitten is baring her claws. She will find the veneer of civility I show the world is far thinner than she ever imagined—for in the end I am Bratva. We take what we want, ruthlessly and completely, and we never let it go.

***This is a standalone first in series that does not end in a cliffhanger. While Tony and Dominic Sabatini from the HIS: Sabatini Family series appear, you need not have read them to enjoy this. This novel includes spankings and rough sexual scenes. If such things offend you, please do not purchase. ***
