Little did he know, her flame couldn't be put out.
And little did she know. . .Cristiano always won.
************************************************
Ruthless, cold-hearted Cristiano Russo is out for revenge.
He thought she'd fall like a ripe peach into his hands. He'd even planned on it. Nothing and no one was going to stop him from crushing her. His thirst for revenge was too great, vowing to use her heart against her, use her for his pleasure and discard her like damaged goods-broken and disgraced. But what he didn't expect was a burning spit fire that fought him every step of his deceitful plan to ruin her.
Jasmine St. James thought he felt the instantaneous connection and the sparks fly as soon as they met during her sisters magical, fairytale wedding. But behind his smooth Italian accent, and charming exterior, she soon discovered Cristiano was a devil in disguise.
After a heated, humiliating exchange of words, and her hate for him burning like an inferno inside of her, Jasmine returns to her busy life in England full of outrage, confusion, and wounded pride hoping never to set eyes on his rugged, handsome face ever again. Unfortunately, her problems haven't even begun as he materializes out of nowhere, taunting her at every corner, constantly reminding her of his presence and giving her a taste of hell.
And she soon finds out it's all because of her playboy brother Zayn and the mile-long, string of panties and broken hearts he's left behind.
Will Jasmine be strong enough to tame the flames of Cristiano's revenge?
It's said, there's honor in revenge.
It's also said, it isn't as sweet as it tastes.

"Touch me, Blaze... and you'll remember me every time something beautiful dies."

She was the only sin he'd die to confess. So he destroyed his kingdom for her absolution.

𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫.
Power built their world. Power destroyed it. She pulled the trigger that turned his hate into a kingdom of fire, and now fate binds them to the same war.
Hate keeps them sharp. Hate keeps them alive. But hate is just another mask for power. And when it cracks, they'll both discover the cost of letting go.

In a city ruled by blood and silence, some names are spoken only in whispers.
New York breathes violence like smoke-its kings crowned in crime, its peace bought in bodies. Blaze Marino, heir to a fractured Italian empire, doesn't believe in myths. He believes in control. In power. In pain as currency.
But when a woman with white hair and a scar like prophecy crashes a masquerade of monsters, everything changes. She moves like fire. Vanishes like smoke. Leaves no name, no trail-just destruction and desire.
And with her, the game changes.
As alliances crack and old ghosts crawl from the shadows, Blaze finds himself caught between revenge and something far more dangerous: curiosity. Obsession. A pull he can't explain.
They say saints die young.
But what if she was never a saint at all?
And if she was-
maybe she always knew how her story would end.
