Aresia Vale was never meant to survive. The second daughter of a ruthless mafia king, she lives hidden in the shadows of a house that waits for her death. Her father suspects she holds the key to a fortune worth billions-and when men like Vale suspect weakness, they don't wait for proof. Cassian arrives as a bodyguard. Unknown. Trusted. Lethal. What no one knows is that Cassian is the son of Vale's greatest rival, sent undercover to steal secrets and finish a war before it begins. He watches her. She watches him closer. Cassian was sent to kill Aresia. What he doesn't know is that Aresia has already built an empire of her own-and she doesn't need saving. In a world ruled by lies, blood, and power, falling in love might be the most dangerous mistake of all
