About this ebook
Alessia Romano has spent her life cleaning up the sins of dangerous men. As her family’s brilliant fixer, she buries scandals, follows hidden money, and stops bloodshed before the first bullet is fired.
Then three Vitale soldiers are discovered executed inside a shipping container bearing Romano seals.
Every piece of evidence points to Alessia’s reckless younger brother. His security code opened the terminal. His weapon is tied to the scene. His voice appears on a recording ordering the men’s deaths.
Dante Vitale wants blood.
Cold, feared, and driven by an eight-year thirst for revenge, the powerful Mafia Don offers Alessia the only solution capable of preventing war:
Marriage.
But Dante’s proposal is not an act of peace. It is blackmail wrapped in an heirloom ring, and refusing him could cost Alessia her brother, her family, and the empire her mother left behind.
Alessia accepts believing she can outsmart the devil from inside his own house.
She soon learns that Dante has been planning her family’s ruin for years—and their wedding vows may be the final weapon he needs.
He expects a frightened bride.
Instead, he marries the one woman dangerous enough to turn his revenge into a war of her own.
A dark, addictive Mafia romance featuring forced marriage, enemies-to-lovers tension, blackmail, family secrets, dangerous obsession, a powerful heroine, and a ruthless Don who may destroy everything before realizing his greatest weakness is his wife.
Based on the conflict, characters, and romantic setup developed in Part One of the uploaded manuscript. Google Play Books treats the description as back-cover-style copy, making this spoiler-light format suitable for the book’s metadata section.
