Non-romanticized stories about mobster wives?

I came across a former mob-wife's account who was telling her story in parts; what techniques she learned from witnessing mob interrogations, her manipulative and abusive (ex-)husband, her destructive coping mechanisms and eventually going back to that same life after running away from it, how her gangster mother-in-law quit her chronic drinking and smoking to be around her future grandchild (per the woman's demands) etc.

Now validity of this account aside, you have to admit that it's doing a great job at "deglamorizing" this life, and I was wondering if any books did the same.

Doesn't matter if the narration is 1st or 3rd person. Preferably NO rape scenes disguised as erotica. Bonus points if the female MC is first "enchanted" by the prospect of her new life before gradually getting horrifying reality checks, maybe at the same time as the reader. Like starting as a wattpad-esque fantasy before the grim parts emerge.
