Anti-Heroes in Love set

Roses & Thorns November/December 2025 box edition of Giana Darling's Anti-Heroes in Love duet, bundling hardcover editions of When Heroes Fall and When Villains Rise, both physically signed by the author.

When Heroes Fall: From Wall Street Journal best-selling author Giana Darling comes an enemies-to-lovers forbidden romance between an ice-cold lawyer and her infamous mafioso client who is on trial for murder...

I am the villain of my own story...

Jilted by my fiancé. A disappointment to my family. Haunted by my childhood traumas. I felt so much all my life that I resolved to feeling nothing at all. Until I met my match.

As the most infamous mafioso of the 21st century, Dante Salvatore was madly passionate, unequivocally bad, and entirely too dangerous to know. He was everything I abhorred, yet I found myself representing him in the biggest criminal trial of the decade.

I was so focused on winning and achieving the success I deserved that I didn't notice the gorgeous, black-eyed man's effect on me until it was too late. My icy heart had been held too close to his flame, and now I wouldn't let Dante go down without fighting with everything I had in me. Even if the cost of a new life with him meant the loss of my old life and everything I thought I held dear.

Book one in the Anti-Heroes in Love Duet.

When Villains Rise: From Wall Street Journal best-selling author Giana Darling comes the conclusion to the Anti-Heroes in Love duet, a gripping mafia romance about the capo who will risk everything to keep the woman he loves safe...

I am the hero no one wanted...

I was a murderer. One of the cruelest and wealthiest men in New York City. Dante Salvatore, capo of capos. Yet I had one weakness. Elena Lombardi.

Cold as ice, sharp as the edge of broken glass, and more beautiful than any woman should have the right to be, she stormed my defenses and razed my life as I knew it to the ground. For her, I would once again play the hero and prove myself worthy of her unconquerable heart.

For her, I would change everything.

I could have left her to the enemies hounding me, but instead, I made the unforgivable decision to take her with me to the old country. Now, there is no other option. In order to keep both of us safe, Elena Lombardi must become my wife.
