Born from forbidden magic. Raised in blood and bullets. Destined to be claimed. Zaila Rayna Nkosenye doesn't do brides. She does bodies. As the mafia's deadliest enforcer-dragonfire in her veins, ice in her heart-she burns enemies and trusts no one. Until Viktor Nightborn, the ancient vampire king who has waited six centuries for his fated mate, steps from the shadows. He calls her his bride. She calls him a target. The bond is instant. Savage. Unbreakable. Their desire is lethal. Their future is forbidden. With rival mafias circling for her blood and the witch coven hunting her prophesied throne, Zaila must decide: cling to the ruthless empire she built... or become the vampire's dark mafia bride. In a world of fire and fangs, love is the deadliest weapon.
