A Strozzi never kneels. An Altamira never begs.
After ten years of forced exile in America, Sienna Altamira is back in Porto d'Oro-and she's furious. She's forced to face the tyrannical grandfather who ripped her family apart. She refuses to become a pawn in his billion-dollar empire. Desperate to escape the pressure of her family, she flees to a secluded beach... and runs straight into a man who handles her as if he owns her. She has no idea who this devastatingly handsome stranger is. And he has absolutely no intention of letting his name ruin the most addictive thing that's ever happened to him.
Niccolò Strozzi is a rebel with a reckless streak and a multi-billion-dollar empire at his back. He's used to the entire island fearing his family name, but when he catches a beautiful trespasser in his private sea cave, he doesn't want her gone. He wants her pinned beneath him. For the first time in his life, a woman looks at him with zero fear, and Niccolò is instantly captivated.
What starts as a secret summer affair quickly explodes into a scorching obsession. But on an island built on generational blood feuds, the truth is like a tidal wave. When the masks finally come off, Sienna realizes she's been giving her body to her family's greatest enemy, and the fallout will shatter Porto d'Oro forever. He's a Strozzi. She's an Altamira. And in their bed, hatred and pleasure feel exactly the same.
The tide is breaking. Choose your side.
