Mafia Wars is a six-book dark romance series by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti, all published in 2022. Each book is named after a flower, starting with Binding Rose and continuing through titles like Gunmetal Lily, Ruining Dahlia, and Blade of Iris. The naming convention ties into the series’ themes of beauty wrapped up in violence.
The series follows women pulled into the world of mafia families where loyalty, betrayal, and possession drive the plot. It sits firmly in the mafia romance subgenre and shares the dark, possessive tone of the authors’ other contemporary romances.
