Hazem Renzo Salvatore was born to rule - not to love. And definitely not to marry a woman forced into his life by blood debts and power games he never chose. Serene Elin Moreau was born for normalcy - not for guns, ghosts, and the man who shattered her world and dragged her into his. Now they're bound by contracts instead of vows. Control instead of choice. Resentment instead of desire. She hates him for stealing her future. He hates her for becoming his. But hatred gets complicated when proximity turns into tension, silence turns into longing, and enemies start memorizing each other's breathing. In a world ruled by violence, loyalty, and bloodlines, love isn't weakness - it's betrayal. And when crimson loyalties collide, hearts don't break. They bleed. 🩸🔥

"You ruined me, Katherine." I glance at her-her lips slightly parted, her hand still wrapped around mine. Even asleep... she won't let go. And that alone nearly breaks me. A bitter laugh slips out of me, low and cracked. "Look at me now," I murmur. "Fuck... I'm screwed.

Desperate to hold on to the last shred of her former life, college student Aurora Kingstone landed a prestigious internship at Russo Enterprises. After a tragic car accident shattered her family's wealth, this is her one chance to build a future. For three months, the office was safe, sterile, and blissfully boss-free while CEO Dominico Russo managed operations from DC.

He used to bully her. Now he owns her. When Alessia Romano walked into her new job at De Luca Enterprises, the last face she expected to see was his-Giovanni De Luca, the rich, sadistic bastard who tormented her in college... and the man who now controls her career, her body, and her every breath. Worse? He's not just a billionaire CEO. He's the boss of the Italian Mafia-and he's been waiting for her. Giovanni doesn't just want Alessia under his command-he wants her on her knees, begging, branded, and broken in all the ways only he can deliver. And when she resists, he doesn't fire her. He cages her. The tension is unbearable. The sex? Rough, possessive, and addictive. He spanks. He binds. He whispers filth in Italian while she moans into silk sheets. And despite her defiance, her hate, her fear-her body keeps surrendering. But Alessia is no longer the scared girl from college. She's smarter. Angrier. And dangerously close to falling in love with the devil who's tying her wrists and stealing her soul. In a world of secrets, bullets, and obsession, love isn't safe. It's a weapon.
