Elara Vitiello knew what she was signing. She knew the arranged marriage to Marco Rossi, the feared heir to the Cosa Nostra Crowns, was a blood oath-a lethal transaction. But she didn't walk into his fortress to be his obedient bride. She walked in as a spy with a singular, desperate mission: to find the truth about her family's ruin, even if it meant being caught in the jaws of the beast.
Marco "The Blade" Rossi rules his world with absolute order and cold precision. He bought Elara to stabilize his empire, not to love her. But when her quiet defiance ignites a spark he can't extinguish, his possessiveness turns toxic. He calls her Fuoco (Fire) when he presses his claim, whispering dark promises of ownership. He will isolate her, punish her, and break her until the only thing she burns for is him. He is Il Giudice (The Judge), and her fate is in his hands.
Now, trapped in his opulent, isolated cage, Elara must play the role of the devoted wife while fighting to retrieve the key to her freedom. But in the dangerous war of wills, attraction becomes a weapon, and their toxic bond threatens to consume them both. One mistake, one false surrender, and the blood oath will demand the ultimate price.WARNING: This is a Dark Mafia Romance intended for mature readers.
