De Luca Series | Book #1
For thirty years, the war between the De Lucas and the Romanos has been written in blood. Now, at last, both sides are exhausted enough to consider peace.
But peace, in their world, always comes with a cost.
Vincenzo De Luca doesn't believe in forgiveness. He believes in control. In power that comes after the last shot is fired. When the offer comes, he accepts it with clear eyes. Elena Romano. The last piece on the board he can't afford to leave unclaimed. She isn't a bride. She is leverage dressed in silk.
Elena was raised on stories of De Luca brutality. She learned where to aim, how to wait, how to survive. She spent her life preparing for war, not marriage. Yet now she stands at the altar, offering her hand to the very man she was meant to destroy. If she must live in his house, she will not walk in empty handed. She learns the cracks in his armor, the ghosts that follow him when the lights go out. If war comes again, she intends to be ready.
In a world where loyalty is fragile and betrayal is inevitable, trusting the wrong person can get you killed.
Because the most dangerous enemy is not across the battlefield.
The enemy learns your nightmares.
The enemy sleeps in your bed.
