Elani Covington always understood sacrifice. Raised by parents whose love survived long before power ever touched their family name, she grew up believing loyalty meant protecting the people you love - even when it costs you everything. With only two months left before graduating university, Elani thought she still had time to decide who she wanted to become outside of her family's legacy. Then grief changed everything. Now, with her family's future hanging by a thread, Elani is forced into a marriage that could either save them all or destroy what remains. She knows the rules of their world. The silence. The bloodshed. The deals made behind closed doors. But knowing the game and wanting to be part of it were always two different things. Alessio Moretti learned that lesson young. Sent from Italy to oversee the western branch of the Sicilian mafia, Alessio was raised between the softness of his mother's love and the ruthless expectations of his father. Quiet, calculating, and impossible to read, he became the kind of man people underestimated until it was too late. A charming face hiding a deadly hand. With his father dying and war brewing beneath the surface of the city, Alessio is left with a choice that could cost him everything his family built. And somewhere between grief, loyalty, and a marriage neither of them truly chose, two lives become tied together in ways neither of them could've prepared for. Because in their world, love was never the dangerous part. Survival was.

Allen Cole McGregor was bred to hate. A fourth-generation neo-Nazi with blood on his knuckles and a five-year prison scar on his soul, Cole trusts only his name and the men who share his views-until the night they turn on him. Left to die on a snow-covered road out in the middle of nowhere, breath thinning, he welcomes the cold when it comes... and then opens his eyes to an angel. But.. She isn't what he was taught angels look like. Angel LeeAnna Brooks didn't plan to find a stranger bleeding in her path. She didn't plan to move faster than the fear growing inside of her, while hoping and praying that the man before her had no affiliations with the devil himself. After the swastika tattoos screamed their presence beneath his blood-stained clothes, Angel feared the man might be a demon, and she had no idea how to handle that revelation. Their collision is gasoline and a match: a Black woman hiding from pain and loss, a white man raised in a creed of rot, both trapped on a secluded homestead where winter is closing in and secrets stalk the walls. As enemies circle and old lies unravel, Cole is forced to confront the poison in his bones-and the one person willing to see the boy he buried alive. This is not a safe love story. It's a reckoning.
