Blood Between Us In the heart of New York, the Moretti family rules the streets with a code of honor written in shadows. Dominic Moretti is their heir - a man of ruthless power, haunted by loss, and bound by loyalty to a legacy steeped in blood. Enter Elena Rossi: quiet, intelligent, and deceptively resilient. Sent into Dominic's world under the guise of a tutor, she carries secrets of her own - a past marked by tragedy, a sister in danger, and a mission that could shatter the fragile balance of power. When their worlds collide, the mansion becomes a silent battlefield. One misstep could be fatal, but every glance, every word, and every calculated move pulls them closer. Matteo, Dominic's silent son, becomes the unexpected bridge between them - and a test of patience, trust, and emotional survival. In a story of vengeance, forbidden connections, and the unspoken rules of loyalty, Blood Between Us explores what it means to protect, to love, and to survive when every choice comes at a cost.

"Y-you," she stuttered, staring at the handsome man sitting on the sleek black throne, "you're..." He rolled his eyes, waving his hand impatiently and said, "Hades. Come on, say it with me. Ha-des." "Hades," Ariel breathed out, still not believing the sight before her. Every picture she had seen of the gods had not depicted Hades' beauty. The god sitting before her was not a crusty old man with a white beard; no, he was a Calvin Klein model. "Yes," Hades clasped his hands together and grimaced, "the God of Death and riches; that's me." Ariel nodded, still refusing to believe but knowing she had to and Hades' grimace turned even bitter, "And you, darling, will be staying with me for quite some time." ~*~ Cover: _nymphomaniac Published: 8/6/14
