The Sweetest Oblivion

Elena Abelli, the sweet daughter of one of New York's oldest mafia families, has spent her life as the perfect contrast to her wilder sister. When the Abelli patriarch arranges his elder daughter's marriage to Nicolas Russo, the don of the Russo family, the deal collapses the night Elena meets Nico at a family event and the chemistry between them refuses to stay quiet. The patriarch is forced to reshuffle the marriage contract, and Elena gets sent into the Russo household as Nico's bride. Lori writes the entire book in dual POV, letting Nico's possession and Elena's resistance build into the kind of scenes that put the Made series on every BookTok dark-romance recommendation list through the early 2020s.
