Sienna Cross

Hey there! I'm Sienna Cross, and I write dark mafia romance that'll probably have your Kindle screaming "ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THIS?" (The answer is yes. Always yes.)

Let me tell you, I never expected my first book to feature a stalker mob boss who'd make readers question their entire moral compass. But here we are! And honestly? I wouldn't have it any other way.

I've always been fascinated by the thin line between obsession and love, between fear and desire. Growing up devouring every psychological thriller I could get my hands on (much to my mother's concern), I knew I wanted to write stories that explored those deliciously dark grey areas. You know, the ones that make you feel a little guilty for rooting for the villain? Yeah, those.

When I started writing 'Brutal King', I wanted to create something that would push boundaries while still keeping readers turning pages way past their bedtime. Nico Rossi walked into my head one day, fully formed, completely unapologetic, and refusing to leave until I told his story. (Stubborn Italian men, am I right?) What started as a "what if" scenario about a woman falling for her stalker turned into a full-blown exploration of power, control, and the kind of love that burns everything in its path.

My writing style? Think Patricia Highsmith meets 'The Godfather', but with way more steam and a healthy dose of "I shouldn't be into this but OH MY GOD I am." I don't sugar-coat the darkness in my books. The violence is real, the emotions are raw, and the steam... well, let's just say you might want to keep a fan handy.

I write for readers who like their romance with a side of psychological warfare. The ones who understand that sometimes the scariest part isn't the blood or the violence – it's realizing you're falling for the monster. (And loving every minute of it.)

When I'm not writing morally grey characters who definitely belong in therapy, you can find me binge-watching true crime documentaries, attempting to perfect my tiramisu recipe (still not as good as my nonna's), or hanging out with my rescue pit bull, Dante. Yes, I named him after the guy who wrote about the nine circles of hell. It felt appropriate.

Fun fact: I actually have a background in psychology, which probably explains why I'm so interested in exploring the darker sides of human nature. My characters might be fictional, but their psychological complexities are very real. Well, as real as a stalker mob boss with a heart of gold can be. 🖤

What can you expect from my books? - Morally grey (okay, mostly black) heroes who'll ruin you for all other book boyfriends - Heroines who give as good as they get - Sexual tension that'll make you need a cold shower - Plot twists that'll keep you guessing - Steam that'll fog up your reading glasses - And endings that prove love can bloom in even the darkest places

I'm currently working on my next book (hint: if you thought Nico was intense, just wait until you meet his cousin), and I can't wait to share more dark, twisted tales with you all.

You can find me on Instagram and TikTok where I post probably too many thirst traps of my book boyfriends and behind-the-scenes peeks at my writing process. Fair warning: I have zero filter and a slightly concerning addiction to iced coffee. Come say hi! I love chatting with readers about our shared appreciation for problematic men in suits.

Remember, in my books, happily ever after might come with a body count, but I promise it's always worth the ride.

xo, Sienna

P.S. If you're wondering whether it's okay to be attracted to Nico Rossi... the answer is no, but we're all going to hell anyway, so might as well enjoy the trip! 😈
