The Woman He Couldn't Hate: A Dark Mafia Romance

Luca De Luca has never forgiven Sofia Bellini for disappearing on the night his father was murdered.

For years, the evidence told him the same story: Sofia betrayed his family, helped their enemies get inside, and left Luca to live with the blood that followed.

But Sofia is back.

And the evidence is beginning to fall apart.

With Gia missing and danger closing in around them, Luca and Sofia begin pulling at the threads of the old case. A copied security credential. A false financial trail. Secret surveillance photographs. Men inside De Luca security who may have answered to Vittorio.

Every new discovery makes one thing harder to deny.

Someone wanted Sofia to look guilty.

Forced together again, Luca and Sofia must work side by side while eight years of anger, grief, and unfinished love rise between them. Luca wants answers Sofia still cannot fully give him. Sofia wants to find her sister before the people watching them decide she has said too much.

And neither of them is prepared for what happens when hatred stops being enough to keep them apart.

Then their search leads to Milan Kovač—and to the truth Luca never expected to hear.

There were two targets the night Alessandro De Luca died.

His father was one.

Luca was the other.

And the chapel Luca remembered as the place Sofia betrayed him may actually be the reason he survived.

The Woman He Couldn't Hate is Book Two of The De Luca Empire, a five-book dark mafia romance saga about betrayal, obsession, second chances, family conspiracy, dangerous power, and the brutal difference between protecting someone and controlling them. The story continues directly in The Vow She Broke.
