Bramble is excited to publish Wattpad superstar Rebecca Johnpee's fan favorite novel The Wicked -- a sexy mashup of mafia romance and heist thriller -- in print for the first time.

Elio Marino, also known as Il Malvagio 'The Wicked', is a man whose presence alone is enough to evoke a silence more sinister than the one from a graveyard. As head of the ruthless and notorious Marino Family, nothing could shake him, or so he believed.

Zahra Faizan was trouble. Growing up with men who treated bullets like sugar cubes, she has risen from the streets and created the most notorious gang of thieves in the whole of Italy, but after a job gone wrong, she finds herself and her crew held captive by The Wicked, and she would do just about anything to take advantage of it. Even if it was as foolish as performing the biggest heist her gang has ever dreamed of.

Could she tame the wicked and bring him to his ruin? Or tame him and keep him to herself? After all, even the wicked needs love.
