A forbidden love. A deadly war. A choice that could destroy them both. Elysia Bianchi swore she'd never return to the world of bloodstained hands and whispered threats-the world her family was built on. As a lawyer, she spent years carving a life away from crime, away from power. But when her brother is accused of betraying the most feared mafia boss in the city, she's forced back into the darkness she fought to escape. Ezio Moretti is a man who trusts no one. Ruthless, calculated, and cold, he rules his empire with an iron fist. Betrayal is met with blood, and loyalty is earned through fear. But when Elysia storms into his life, demanding justice for her brother, she becomes a problem he never saw coming-a problem he can't resist. Their attraction is a slow-burning fire, dangerous and undeniable. But as old enemies resurface and buried secrets unravel, Elysia realizes Ezio may not just be the man who holds her heart-he might be the reason her family was destroyed. With a war brewing in the shadows and their enemies closing in, Elysia and Ezio are forced into an impossible choice: sacrifice their love for survival or fight for a future written in blood.

What's worse is she has no idea what it is they want from her, except that it has something to do with a side of her that she's never known. The chances of Elysia getting out alive are slim, but perhaps with a bit of luck and a lot of bravery she can escape with more than just her life. Excerpt: ''What trick is this?'' The creature asked, but it didn't sound like a vicious question. He sounded... confused. When I didn't answer, he appeared in front of me, snatching my face in his hand once more and growling. ''What is that on your back?'' ''I don't know,'' I blindly answered, but corrected myself quickly when his grip tightened dangerously, ''It's a birth mark, the doctors called it a... a Lichtenberg figure. My mother said I was born with it, I swear it, even though it's usually what happens when you survive being struck-'' ''-by lightning.''
