Blood and Ink
Patrick DeLuca was never meant to be a hero. He's the villain-the ruthless, cold-hearted Mafia King who thrives on control, power, and bloodshed. Shaped by tragedy after witnessing his parents' brutal murder at fourteen, Patrick was molded into a weapon by his father's best friend, Laurent Anderson-a mentor who promised to turn him into the most feared man in the underworld. And he did.
But Laurent had one wish: for Patrick to marry his own son, Kevin Anderson. The problem? They hate each other.
Patrick sees Kevin as nothing more than a spoiled, weak, rich kid-an English major with no spine, far removed from the violent world Patrick rules. Kevin despises Patrick just as much, viewing him as a heartless monster with a god complex. But Kevin isn't the innocent, fragile boy his father thinks he is. Beneath his polished exterior lies a manipulative, sharp-tongued man who knows how to play his cards.
When Laurent is attacked, his dying wish forces them into an engagement neither wants. Bound by a promise they never made, Patrick and Kevin must navigate a marriage fueled by hatred, control, and buried secrets.
But what happens when the lines between love and hate blur? When the heartless king meets the boy who refuses to bow?
In a world of blood and ink, can two broken souls find something real-or will they destroy each other first?
