ANTONIO VALENO the undisputed, feared leader of The Venom Creed, the most lethal Mafia syndicate in all of Italy. Justice is simply an echo of his will, and he kills solely for the benefit of his empire. Driven by the thirst for vengeance, he is relentless, resolved to ruin the lives of everyone even slightly involved in his brother's murder. The commencement of his calculated devastation will begin with Elena Moretti. In his eyes, the Mafia Princess of l'ombra was not entirely innocent and was somehow the reason of his brother's condition before the actual incident. ELENA MORETTI is no princess. Coiled in secrets she adamantly refuses to spill, she is the worst, most devastating force Antonio Valeno will ever encounter. In the shadows, she was the whisper of death wrapped in elegance, power disguised in silk, beauty sharpened into a weapon. Beneath her exquisite facade lies a core of shocking, cold-blooded cruelty that the larger world remains oblivious to. She is not a woman who can be controlled; she is the one who controls. Ever heard of the phrase,"When a woman seeks vengeance, even the devil bows to learn." it's soo Elena Moretti coded. Vengeance disguised as an arranged marriage. Will the scorching fire of their mutual hatred ultimately consume them, or will the slow burn of forced proximity convert their hostility into a dangerous flame of desire as the truth they've buried finally surfaces.
