Merciless Union: une romance mafieuse sombre (Blood and Thorns t. 2)

The characters' choices often blurred the lines between right and wrong, which added tension but also raised questions about loyalty and love.

The gritty, dangerous backdrop added so much depth, but I'm curious whether real-life mafia stories influenced the setting or if it was purely fictional.

The book balances intense, sometimes brutal scenes with tender moments — was this contrast something planned from the start or developed during writing?
