In a city carved into territories and ruled by bloodlines, alliances aren't made with handshakes - they're sealed with vows.
Lilly Moretti was never meant to be someone's bargaining chip. Deadly, unpredictable, and fiercely loyal to her family, she's built a reputation that makes grown men hesitate. But when a looming war threatens to destroy everything her father built, there's only one solution strong enough to stop it: a marriage to the man she hates most.
Lucifer, heir to the North, has wanted Lilly out of his life for years - and somehow, she always ends up right back under his skin. Their history is messy. Violent. Unfinished. And one reckless night changed everything.
Now, with enemies circling and betrayal lurking behind every smile, they're forced into an alliance neither of them trusts.
Because in this world, love is a weakness.
And hate?
Hate is dangerous when it starts to feel a lot like desire.
