Quiet Wealth: A Dark Second Chance Mafia Romance (Quiet Mafia Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 581 ratings

**This is the start of a series. It may contain triggers and ends on a cliffhanger.**

This empire is built on the bones of our enemies,

surrounded by shadows that hide our twisted deeds and quiet wealth.

Sienna

After a decade, what remained was a lone pendant and a shattered heart.

If not for the photo, I’d think he was a ghost.

With no other choice, I redefined my life, mending the broken pieces.

But like all things that haunt us, he’s back, engulfing my once simple life into a raging storm surrounded by crime and bloodshed.

The trouble he brings is more than just his secrets; it's the weakness he brings out of me.

But just one taste can’t hurt, can it?


Elio
My existence is tangled with darkness and mayhem, where we live by a code
—family, power, loyalty, and protection.

Until her.

She was the light.

And I left.

Everything I’ve done has been to protect her.

She resists our connection, consumed by the betrayals of the past.

Too bad. I refuse to stop until she becomes mine again.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

J.L. Drake is a bestselling author with multiple series published in several countries. The Broken Trilogy is her bestseller, and her next series, Dark Water runs deep into the Broken and Blackstone world.

She was born and raised in Nova Scotia, Canada, and later moved to southern California. Though she loves the weather in Cali, she would sell her left kidney for a good rainstorm. Jodi’s love of the seasons back home in Canada definitely put an appearance in her books.

When she’s not writing, you can often find her sitting somewhere along the coast of Huntington Beach, reading, or at home curled up on a couch with her two children and husband, binge-watching Marvel movies.

“My name is J.L. Drake, and this is my story…” (Like how I did that there? You’re welcome, Broken fans).

I never set out to be an author. I hated English class and couldn’t write a paper to save my life. Being dyslexic was a hurdle, but I was always interested in storytelling. When I was younger, I did a lot of acting in theater, TV, and movies. Nothing major, but Nova Scotia was just starting to get into the movie business at that point. It brought me out of my shell and taught me to look at scenes from many different angles, which has proven to be a major asset to my writing."

J.L. Drake keeps her website up to date find her next book and what city she'll be in next for a signing!

Her books can be found in different languages around the world.

But, who are given a second chance, but their second chance may not be easy. ***** Rating: Steam: 1 Genre: Second Chance / Mafia / Slowburn **** Quiet Wealth begins with the tragic tale of Sienna’s home life which is filled with misery, torture, and terror. One summer day, Sienna escapes her prison (home) and discovers a pond and boy...and slowly over the years they develop a friendship that eventually develops into more. Ahhh...young love...so beautiful. Elio’s life has been filled with security, love and wealth and then he comes across a broken and bruised girl, and even though she is clearly abused, she still has strength. But Elio has to make difficult choices to protect those he loves...even if it means leaving the girl he fell in love with at the pond. Sienna’s heart is ripped out while it beats when she discovers Elio and his family have left town without even a note. Ten years later, Sienna survived, escaped to the street, found a friend and has rebuilt her life. She’s an established journalist who is hired to do a story on an oil company that puts her on a collision course back into Elio’s, the one person she ever loved, the one person that broke her. Elio, is now the underboss for his family and has done bad things, but he never stopped loving Sienna. He is the hero that can slice open a man's throat and in the same breath, handle Sienna with the utmost care and kindness. Elio is a complex character that we should hate becasue he’s mafia..but simply can’t. Sienna and Elio are two lovers who met at the wrong moment in their lives, but who are given a second shot at love 10 years later. Quiet Wealth’s mafia world is replete with threats, bloodshed, treason, lies, deceit and there is a game afoot.

    I am absolutely in LOVE with this book! All the things I love about J.L. Drake's writing made it into this one (complex web, captivating storyline, cliffhanger, and characters we crave). Waiting for the continuation of Elio and Sienna's story is torture in itself. I may never be right again......

    The story unfolds and captures from the first page! My heart was invested in the development of Elio and Sienna's history. I found myself in an emotional turmoil with suspenseful twists and turns along the storyline. I laughed, I cried, and I rooted for this fated mismatched but perfect couple all along the way. Pure love, betrayal, heartbreak, second chances, and fate play into this amazing story. Their story is one I will never get enough of and feel a desperation to complete. The complimenting but opposing light and dark that run through this novel is represented in a beautifully heartbreaking balance. It's simply perfection!

    Secrets, betrayal, love and death. This story takes us on a dark journey into each of these. Drake had me completely invested in these characters from the very first chapter. She doesn’t ease you into it either. She thrusts you right into the tragic side of life but then lulls you into this place of safety and healing to once again, pull the rug right out from under you.

    This is not your typical mafia romance and Elio is not your typical underboss. He didn’t have a choice in which path he would take, but such is life when you are born into the la familia. He’s the perfect combination of dangerous, and passionate, especially when it comes to his family and Sienna, but not all is as it seems.

    Sienna is feisty, kind and loyal, despite the amount of heartaches she has faced in her life. And man, has it been cruel to this poor girl. With the help of her BFF Wyatt, she takes a big leap to find answers to the mysteries that surround her life and what happens next propels her onto a dark path she never saw coming.

    Secrets, betrayal, love and death. They are bountiful and they will face them all together and individually, but It’s not up to them who will be the victor in the end. True to Drake fashion, she won’t make it easy on you and will keep you wanting until the very last word.

    Reviewed in Canada on July 22, 2021
    She did it again! Just when you think you’ve got it figured out, here comes the nail to the hand! One of the best cliffhangers Jodi has written. Sienna is a tough heroine but she is completely thrown by the mafia world she is dropped into. Elio is the Devil in a designer suit but when Sienna returns, his course changes to ensure she isn’t left behind again.

    So, when I saw that Jodie was doing a Mafia series I was devastated. It’s not my typical genre and I’ve never been tempted to read it. However I thought I would wait until all the books of this series were done (because let’s face it, we know Jodi Drake loves those cliffhangers) until I gave it a go. Well damn!!!! I am once again absolutely addicted to this series. I’m halfway through book 2 and it’s been a long time since I have found a book that I wanted to read non stop. I don’t want to put it down and when I do all I can think about is getting back to Hill House and figuring out more secrets. Thank you Jodie for once again knocking it out of the park. ❤️❤️❤️

    Jl Drake keeps you so entertained it's hard to put the book down. I love the characters and how they interact with each other. Elio's love for Sienna causes him to make the ultimate sacrifice and her love for him never wavers over time. Their journey brings tears, and laughter along with gasps of fear. Bravo J L Drake bring in the rest of their story
