She was trained to kill. He was born to rule.
Two enemies, bound by a contract neither of them can break.
Vera Moretti is a ghost. The world's deadliest assassin, known only as La Lupa-The She-Wolf. No one has ever seen her face and lived to tell the tale. Hunted by the very people who once trained her, she works in the shadows, selling death to the highest bidder.
Luca DeLuca is a king. Ruthless, calculating, and dangerously charming, he rules the Italian underworld with an iron fist. As the youngest Capi in history, he has enemies on all sides, but none as dangerous as the one hunting his family from the dark.
When Vera is sent to kill Luca, she expects another simple job. One bullet, one body. But she isn't prepared for him-the man who sees right through her, the man who makes her hesitate for the first time in her life.
Luca, recognizing the assassin as the missing daughter of a murdered crime lord, offers her a deal: marry him and help him uncover the traitors in his ranks, or die by his hand. Forced into a marriage of convenience, Vera and Luca are locked in a deadly game of power, deception, and undeniable attraction.
But in the mafia, loyalty is everything. And when old enemies resurface, secrets unravel, and betrayal cuts deeper than any blade, Vera and Luca must decide-can they trust each other, or will love be the most dangerous game of all?
