In the heart of Naples, where beauty masks bloodshed and every whisper carries a secret, Valentina DeLuca reigns as the Rose of Napoli-graceful, cunning, and bound by a legacy she never chose. Raised within the iron walls of the DeLuca empire, she has learned to navigate a world where loyalty is currency, and love is a weapon. But when a message arrives from a family long thought buried-the powerful and dangerous Morettis-her world begins to unravel.
Alex Moretti, the ghost of a forgotten war and a name steeped in blood, has returned. And with him, a promise made before she was born: an arranged marriage meant to unite two empires now threatened by old vendettas and buried truths.
Caught between duty and desire, vengeance and vulnerability, Valentina refuses to be a pawn in anyone's game-not her father's, not her enemies', and certainly not Alex's. As sparks fly and power shifts, the stage is set for a dangerous seduction, where every glance is a gamble and every touch could mean betrayal.
Velvet & Vengeance is a seductive tale of power, passion, and rebellion. In a city ruled by tradition and treachery, one woman will risk everything to seize control of her fate-even if it means turning a marriage of convenience into a revolution written in fire.
