They were never meant to trust each other. Let alone bleed beside one another.
Elena Corsi is a strategist, a cold-blooded heir to one of Italy's most ruthless mafia legacies. She's never needed backup, and she certainly doesn't want it, not from a Russian, and especially not from Aleksander Petrov.
He's the Bratva's second in command. Silent. Brutal. And impossible to read. Sent by Giovanni Moretti to "assist" her in training the next generation of soldiers and to stabilize the Italian mafia after it's new take over, Aleksander is everything Elena hates, detached, arrogant, and unreadably dangerous.
He doesn't respect her rules. She doesn't care for his silence.
But with the old families rising, alliances fracturing, and a target growing on both their backs, Elena and Aleksander are forced into uneasy proximity. Between training sessions, strategic meetings, and the looming chaos of the annual mafia ball, tensions crackle and control slips.
Because loyalty is currency in their world-and attraction? It's a liability neither of them can afford.
But when bullets start flying, and betrayal hides behind familiar faces, the real question isn't who they can trust...
It's whether they'll survive long enough to figure out what they really are to each other.
