About Saskia Veris

Saskia Veris writes morally-gray mafia romance for readers who like their love stories dangerous and their heroines sharper than the men who underestimate them. Her Astakos Syndicate novels unfold in a Mediterranean shipping-and-salt empire where the family that owns the coast owns the law. Slow-burn, high-stakes, and always a hard-won happily-ever-after, because the best love stories are the ones both people have to survive.
