Rafa Romero—The Gentleman Mafioso—always gets what he wants. And after nearly hitting the innocent, far-from-home Guinevere—when she darts from dark fields on a starry Italian night, this hardhearted criminal decides he wants her. That's right friends, your mafia trope has arrived!

My Dark Fairytale, by Giana Darling, (one of Annie's fave authors) is a M/F Mafia romance and Giana's first in the mafia sub-genre—although girlfriend is no stranger to a criminal (see: the Fallen Men MC series). Be warned, My Dark Fairytale ends on a cliffhanger doozy (book 2 slated 10/2025). There are sexy man ankles in Italian loafers, flowing black silk robes with low-slung lounge pants, impeccable tailoring, and Guinevere wears some stuff, too. Oh---and of course there's a great plot, building intrigue, and some verrrry spicy Italian food scenes. Plus, Annie accidentally came as Kimmy Gibler so you can't go wrong if you join us!

We're Annie + Hollie and we're co-writing our first romance. We mention our writing process, but mostly each episode is a love letter to the world's greatest genre, its authors, and the sheer joy of reading irresistible HEAs.

Episode Nine: Thank you to Giana Darling who has no clue who we are but is kind enough to write super fun romance for the world to read.
