The Devil's Deal: A Dark Enemies to Lovers Mafia Romance (Cavaleri Brothers Book 1) Kindle Edition
She’s the devil's daughter, but once, she was my only friend.
Everything changed fifteen years ago when her father killed mine.
When she betrayed me.
And every day since, all I’ve thought about is vengeance.
Brutal, twisted revenge.
I’ve been patient, rising from ruins, growing an empire with my brothers, waiting for my chance to take out her father, the boss of the Palermo crime family.
The time has come.
The devil will pay.
I'm about to take the only one he has left: his daughter.
She doesn't know I'm Dominic Cavaleri.
The same boy she hurt.
The one who loved her.
But she'll know soon enough…right before I destroy everything she’s ever known.
She's nothing more than a game to me.
And this time, I’m playing to win.
Even if it means risking my heart.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Straight out the gate I loved this freaking book!! I had read so many reviews of the authors previous work and while it all sounded like it was totally a bit of me I was apprehensive. So many fantastic reviews make me nervous that an author won't live up to the hype, you know Well, I can catagorically say the reviews don't lie!! She is *that* good." -loves.romance.books
"THE DEVIL'S DEAL is a deliciously dark enemies to lovers Mafia story that is steamy and unexpectedly twisted and cruel—it is edgy, a page turner, suspenseful intrigue, guttural with gritty issues, and a compelling story that was impossible to put down. To say I was left utterly speechless is an understatement!" -Dora Harvey
"I loved this book and have fallen in deep with this series now...I may be closing my eyes...but I can't wait for how the series is about to twist me up!" -Laura
"I absolutely loved, loved, loved this book! It captured me from the beginning, ripping out my heart, kept me needing more and never wanting it to end." -Amy Thomas
The Devil's Deal has it all- romance, second chances, steamy scenes, angst, revenge, and a strong as hell heroine. I loved her! Chiara wasn't taking anyone's nonsense and I loved it. -Virginia
From the Inside Flap
I'm Chiara Bianchi. I don't cower to any man. They cower to me.
But as I pivot my head slightly, I find those captivating eyes already pinning mine, paralyzing me, and every breath of mine seizes in my chest, burning through my lungs.
His gaze drops to my lips, his eyes telling me just what he wants to do with them.
My stomach bottoms out, the knots already there tightening. His thick fingers drag over the bar, nearing mine as he raises his other hand to get the bartender's attention.
"What can I get ya?" Tina asks, breaking our intense lust-filled connection.
"Martini for her. Whiskey neat for me."
"Who told you I wanted a martini?" I ask firmly as Tina strolls away.
He rotates in the swivel chair, quirking up a brow. "Was I wrong?"
"No," I grumble, threading my fingers through my hair. "But that's not the point. Ask next time."
Who does he think he is, ordering for me like he knows me or something? I mean, it is one of my favorite drinks, but that's not the point.
"There's going to be a next time?"
"I didn't mean..."
The tantalizing way his gaze fills mine with want has me stammering. Those eyes glow like skin warmed by the sun, radiating down my body in waves of heat.
There's a touch of a smile on his face, a genuine one. "Uh-uh, you can't take it back now."
I breathe out an unintentional snicker.
"Wow, she finally laughs," he says.
"Barely." I roll my eyes.
He angles his head to the left. "It's a start."
The drinks arrive and I quickly pick mine up, taking sip after sip, needing the lull of alcohol.
He doesn't touch his drink yet, watching me enjoy mine. A quiet moment passes as he stares deep into my eyes like he's trying to figure out a Rubik's Cube.
It makes my heart beat faster.
"Would you stop looking at me like that?" I say. "It's kind of creepy."
And also a little hot. No, scratch that lie. A lot hot.
"I apologize. I'm only trying to figure out how someone could be this beautiful."
I roll my eyes, shaking my head. "What's your name, Casanova?"
"Brian Smith. What's yours?"
"Chiara."
"No last name?"
"Nope. Just Chiara." I don't know if he's heard of my father, but I think it's better if I don't give him that part of me. I haven't enjoyed a conversation with a man in too long, and I don't want it to stop just yet.
My dad's reputation has done a number on this city. Sometimes I wish I could change my name, but I'm stuck with the one I have.
He reaches for my hand, the one on my lap. Picking it up, he kisses the top of it, gazing at me from below a full set of dark brows.
"Nice to meet you," he says, lifting his mouth away. "I have a feeling we'll become fast friends."
The corners of his lips tip up wickedly with a slant of his gaze.
I have a feeling he may be right. It may be the alcohol, but I'm looking forward to it.
Minutes turn to two hours, and we're still talking, lost in each other, lost in the words and the attraction building with every moment that passes by.
I haven't felt this way before. This sense of want for another person. Not this badly. I want him even more now than I did when I first saw him.
Every time he talks, all I want is to know even more about him, to know his lies and the truths behind them.
He's given me bits of himself, and I've given him crumbs in return. Little tiny fragments of our real selves, but it's been enough to keep us both interested.
It's not like I can share anything too personal, and he seems the same way too...guarded, keeping his deck of cards close to his chest. I get that more than anyone, and it makes him even more intriguing.
I intend to figure him out. Maybe not today, but I will know him.
"How come some man hasn't swept you off your feet yet?" he asks, seemingly curious, as he picks up his whiskey, downing it without even a grimace as though he just drank some water. He pushes the glass away.
"Maybe I don't want to be swept?" I cock a brow. "Maybe I want to be pushed. Hard. Fast."
What am I doing?
But I can't stop myself, especially with this liquor pooling into my empty stomach.
As I take another sip of my drink, he's suddenly off his seat, spinning me in my chair until I'm facing him. His palms land hard on the bar, caging me in as he lowers his face close enough to mine, capturing me.
Excitement shivers, running down my spine as my lungs battle for air.
"Say one more dirty thing, Chiara," he warns, holding my gaze with his heavily-lidded one. "And I'll push you harder than you've ever been pushed before."

- Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2025Lilian Harris does it again. This book is a well written Mafia Romance Masterpiece!!! The spice is off the charts. Bring the fans ladies
- Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2025This is darker, so check your triggers but, I liked the pacing of this!
I loved both MC’s chemistry with each other - Dom and Chiara are what each other needs, even if they don’t know it.
I enjoyed seeing the timeline shift and feel like the story moved through each time period so perfectly!
My heart breaks for 13 year old Dom. I love that he and his brothers became as powerful as they did. They deserve it!
My heart also breaks for 13 year old Chiara. She grew up in a horrible house, with a horrible dad, and not knowing the depth of his horribleness, is truly heart-wrenching.
This does have an HEA and the villain gets what he deserves! Which makes up for the emotional trauma the MC’s faced throughout this.
My biggest complaint is the miscommunication in this. I hated it and wished more than anything that it wasn’t there. My second biggest complaint is the way both MC’s use their body to get “revenge” on the other. It felt gross (in my opinion).
Other than those 2 things, I really do recommend!

Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2025Me encantó ésta historia aunque a la vez me puso triste por todo lo que sufrió Dom por su amistad/relación con Chiara. No justifica sus acciones pero era de entender porque quiere venganza.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2024Dominic and Chiara's story began as childhood friends. Chiara’s evil father treated his wife and his daughter with immense cruelty. Unbeknownst to Chiara, her mother was planning an escape. But fate took a darker turn. Her mother vanished, as did her best friend Dominic and his family. Being left to fend for herself against her father and his wicked ways was not easy.
Years pass, and Chiara finds herself now shackled by her father's oppressive grip and forced to manage one of his illicit businesses. She projects an image of a fierce, unbreakable fighter, ready to defend herself at all costs. Enter Dominic, a dangerously attractive stranger who recognizes her immediately. Chiara, however, seems oblivious to his identity. She suspects he seeks vengeance for her father's misdeeds, and she’s right—but Dominic believes she’s complicit in the deceit that ruined his family.
Despite his seething anger and desire for retribution, he can’t help the lingering magnetic pull he felt as a child toward Chiara. As buried secrets surface, they are faced with a daunting choice: Can they forgive each other for the misunderstandings and manipulation of their youth? Or were they merely pawns in a game too complex for their younger selves to grasp? Overall, a good story, but there were a few things that bothered me, and I felt like they had not been wrapped up. The eye color and the emphasis on boxing. There was a lot of misunderstanding between the two, and at times I felt like the character did not stay true to who she was. However, I did enjoy the plot and the idea.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2025I can't believe. I did originally see her first line of books. I've read all her others or at least I thought I did then I realized I never read the calaleri brothers. Boy do I love them already. If you want a revenge plot, mafia vibes, spice that just nails it.. this is for you. Her stories always hit and I love how they're all connected in someway.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2025This review contains some spoilers
This story was sweet and kinda sad the way it all started and how they were ripped apart as kids. They’re all grown and he kidnaps her. They begin to fall all over again. I got really mad when another girl was going down on him in the driveway and he knew chiara was watching. She didn’t know his true identity but he knew hers. That was the only part of the book that I truly hated. Otherwise her and Dom were cute. They had a lot to work through trauma wise from the past but it was a good story.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2025Chiara and Dominic have known each other since they kids, became best friends, and one moment broke it all apart and them. Years later, he and his brothers have become the hunters, and what they want is the man who has taken everything from them. With their plan in place, Chiara has become a pawn in their game, and her father's like she had been all her life. Things become complicated when both have feelings pop up, and when the truth comes out, can they overcome it?
A highly emotional, action-packed, heartbreaking read that will bring you tears and more. Beautifully written, it will pull you in and have you wanting more. Can't wait to read what happens next.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read!
Wow! So, I freaking loved this book!!! It's dark, steamy, intense, funny with a dash of the childhood friends to enemies to lovers trope and Lilian Harris did not disappoint.
Chiara Bianchi is the daughter of a mob boss. All her life she has been hurt and suppressed by her cruel excuse of a father and her mother was her only ray of light until she finally makes one bestfriend in school- Dominic Cavaleri. They quickly become close at the age of ten and fast forward three years of knowing each other, they're still inseparable until one big traumatic event leads them away from each other. Dom thinks Chiara betrayed him by choosing her father's side but in reality she's been living a miserable life since he left her, taking along his two little brothers.
Fifteen years later, Dom returns with agenda to get revenge of her father and his entire syndicate and this time, he's prepared to win.
Chiara was the character you'll definitely love if you like to see strong heroines who can hold their own ground. She fiesty, smart, witty and just the right person to calm Dom down and at the same time set him on fire!
I loved this amazing world that the author has built and I loved all the side characters including Enzo, aunt Kristen, Dante & Raquel! They were introduced in an exceptionally suave way and now I can't wait for Dante & Raquel's book to come out!

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it!
I honestly could not put this book down! It was definitely a page turner.
The amount of emotion and growth in these pages was amazing.
The plot and characters were creatively developed, but it was the writing by the author that really reeled you in. Cleverly written.

5.0 out of 5 stars 🖤 Dom & Chiara 🖤
* Read with ebook & audiobook.*
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/6.
🌶️🌶️🌶️/5.
I actually loved this second chance (sort of) romance which was i surprise to me. I loved Dom and Chiara when they were children ( they were adorable together) to the man and woman they are today. I loved Dom and how well written he is. He was in the right about everything and once Chiara learned everything that happened she joined him for real.
I loved that Chiara was the one that pulled the trigger and i love how strong and witty she was.
Their love was one that transcended years and a lot of heartache but never because of them and maybe that's why i loved this book so much.
I loved their dynamic together and the other Cavareli brothers and i honestly cannot wait to read the next one in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars new author
Lilian is a new author to me and this is the first book I’ve read of hers and it will not be the last.
I loved the story of them knowing each other as kids and being best friends, then loosing touch with each other under difficult circumstances. Revenge is sweet and I’m only glad that faro got what he deserved. I loved the love and chemistry between Dom and Chiara this book was intense and fiery and Chiara was a woman that could certainly give as good as she gets. I love a woman that as a mouth on her lol. Loved this book. Now into Dante’s 🥰
- Mrs MReviewed in the United Kingdom on January 12, 2023
4.0 out of 5 stars Loved it! Friends to enemies to lovers.
Great storyline and characters. Suspense, danger, steam and fierce undying love. Loved the chemistry between Chiara and Dom, despite all the bad things that happened in their lives they were still drawn to each other. This was a very exciting book with twists and turns and I was hooked from the start to the end.
I dropped a star because there was no warning that it ended on a cliffhanger.
