Summary

𝐁𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀 When my mother’s deteriorating health pushed me into rethinking my career choices, my boss did what he thought best and shoved me into the world I never planned on venturing into. The job was simple: get in, get the information, and get the hell out. Except, it wasn't that easy. Especially when my target was the most nefarious man in New York. The closer I got to the devil, the more I saw sides of him I never knew existed. He burned me with his scorching touch, demanding kisses and hungry gazes. He was determined to have me at all costs and explore every inch of me. One might have thought he would stop at that, but—devil help me—he needed more. More than I was ready to give. There was a reason I never wanted to enter the Mafia world. When my past came crashing onto my doorstep, every lie unravelled, pushing me to the edge of the plank I had managed not to jump from for years. But nothing prepared me for the worst. That being the connection between the man I desired and my dead sister.

Book 1 of Castello Di Carte Mafia Chronicles

NOTE: This book was formerly known as THE GAME OF HEARTS.

The Castello Di Carte Universe is filled with suspense and heart-wrenching plots. Every book in the series is dedicated to a different couple, which means you can read them as standalones, but reading them chronologically is recommended.


FAIR WARNING: The book is about to be published on Amazon, June 2026, so the chapters you read here are not updated or edited. The edited version will only be available on Patreon (Shreya Sengupta) and on Amazon. To know more, follow me on Instagram @author_shreyasengupta.


*********

Fair warning, I am neither Italian nor Greek nor Russian nor Spanish, so all the phrases used in the book are translated via Google and we all know how pervy Google can be sometimes. So have mercy. You’re free to correct them, it would help me a lot.

Now. IT’S FINALLY HERE. Sorry, but I think I’m allowed to scream because I’m friggin’ excited. The dark romance I’ve been planning for the longest time—Castello Di Carte—is finally here. CDC was supposed to be one of the books in the series but later I finally decided it to be the series name. Along the way, as I planned the books and added more characters, the possibility of creating an entire universe just flashed before my eyes.

CDC now has a Facebook group. You can search CASTELLO DI CARTE MAFIA CHRONICLES or simply visit the link attached in my bio.

If you find any ship worth rooting for, do let me know and I might make it happen. I’ll try my best, but won’t make any promises. I won’t be telling you which characters I’ve shipped and planned books for, you’ll have to stick around to find out.

I appreciate constructive criticism, but just don’t be too rude about it. But most importantly, this is the first draft, so don’t expect it to be completely polished and error-free. I will edit the books once the series is complete.

Enjoy and don’t forget to vote and comment if you like it.

Let Shreya Sengupta know what you thought about this chapter!
