In a city where power is bought in blood and loyalty is measured in scars, two feuding empires have ruled Vienna's underworld for generations. The Marchettis - cunning, refined, masters of shadow deals. The Dragos - ruthless, untamed, wolves who'd rather burn the city than bend a knee.
Isolde Marchetti was raised to be a jewel of her family: poised, obedient, the perfect pawn in velvet gowns. But when her father forces her deeper into their brutal world, she crosses paths with Cassian Dragos - heir to the very dynasty sworn to destroy hers.
Cassian is everything she should hate: merciless, arrogant, dangerously seductive. Yet when he decides to claim Isolde as his twisted prize, desire flares hotter than their families' vendetta. Between stolen kisses and whispered threats, pleasure becomes a weapon, and Isolde realizes there's no line Cassian won't cross to possess her completely.
As Vienna's streets run red with betrayal, Isolde must decide:
Will she protect the legacy that forged her - or surrender to the man who's turning her heart into a battlefield?
