A Summer Mafia Romance
Release: May 1, 2026
🖤Mafia Romance
💛Second Chance for MMC & FMC
🖤Summer Fling
On the run from the mafia, I fled across the ocean, clinging to the hope that distance could save me.
Instead, I stepped straight into the domain of a man whose power was whispered about more than spoken aloud—a man whose reach stretched further than the shadows I thought I’d escaped.
He was the one who made me an offer as tempting as it was terrifying. He promised to erase the threat stalking me, to restore the life I’d lost—but only if I gave him something in return: me.
The terms were simple. A summer in his world, day and night at his side. When I refused, his response was ice-cold: he’d deal with the person who ruined my life, with or without my permission.
Desperate to prevent more bloodshed, I agreed—but not without drawing a line. I told him I would never share his bed.
Now all I have to do is survive the summer with Kian Cortes under the scorching Albanian Sun and resist the slow-burning pull between us that might destroy us both.

Under the Albanian Sun by Eva Winners
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
***Review copy requested and reviewed on behalf of OMGReads Blog***
Under the Albanian Sun is a summer fling, touch her and die, Mafia romance. It’s book one in the new Under series. It can be read as a standalone, but because Eva’s Mafia worlds are interconnected, reading her other Mafia series definitely enhances understanding and enjoyment.
Kian is dominant and alpha, but he doesn’t flaunt it. His power shows up when it’s needed. We’ve seen him in other books as calculated, steady, and someone you absolutely want on your side. That’s why Mafia and billionaire connections seek him out for help, whether they need muscle or intel. He’s more of an anti-hero: yes, he’s Mafia, but he uses that status to do more good than harm and never abuses his power.
Sophie is independent, empathetic, stubborn, strong willed, and selfless. She often ends up in predicaments because she’s so deep in her own bubble. She’s a bit of an enigma, intelligent yet occasionally making choices that don’t quite match that intelligence.
The plot is thorough and entertaining, with steamy scenes, a touch of jealousy, violence, a woman on the run, a deranged stalker, and a happily ever after. It’s an easy read, slightly predictable at times, and it clearly sets the stage for Dr. Freud and Lykos to get their stories next.
