The L’Aube Duet

Power, betrayal, and forbidden desire collide in this dark mafia romance duet from Adrian Vale.

After the death of her powerful husband, Vivienne Sayegh inherits an empire surrounded by enemies—and attracts the attention of Roman, a ruthless man whose obsession with her began long before she became a widow. Their strategic marriage promises protection, but it also traps them inside a dangerous struggle involving hidden archives, family betrayals, political conspiracies, and secrets capable of destroying them both.

As desire turns into a brutal contest of trust and control, Vivienne must decide whether Roman is the weapon she needs, the enemy she should destroy, or the only man dangerous enough to stand beside her.

The story contains a morally dark hero, a powerful heroine, explicit romance, mafia violence, betrayal, forced proximity, strategic marriage, possessiveness, and a continuing storyline. The books must be read in order.
