Wild Card: Duistere Maffia Romance (Vegas Underground)

I'm curious how the author envisioned the world and tone for the story, given there's no description. Did the setting come together during writing or was it planned from the start?

The characters’ struggles with love and personal growth really resonated, but I wondered if others found it as emotionally impactful or if it was just my experience.

The pacing felt just right, with moments of intimacy and reflection. I wonder if this was a conscious choice or evolved naturally during the writing process.
