Romancing the Mob Boss is where Mallory Monroe’s romance empire began. The series launched in 2011 and ran for 24 books through 2025, establishing the crime family universe that would spawn dozens of spin-off series. The original series introduced the Sinatra and Gabrini families, whose members would go on to headline their own books.
The 24-book run explores mob boss romance with Monroe’s signature alpha male heroes, steamy scenes, and family loyalty themes. Characters from this series appear throughout Monroe’s other books, making it the foundation for understanding her interconnected universe. The series follows multiple romantic relationships within the crime families, with each book advancing both individual love stories and the larger family saga.
Readers new to Monroe’s work often start here to understand the family dynamics before moving to the spin-off series. While later series like Mick Sinatra and Sal Gabrini became equally popular, Romancing the Mob Boss remains the cornerstone. The series ran for over a decade, demonstrating Monroe’s ability to sustain long-form romantic storytelling while building an expansive fictional world.
