Bleeding Through the Veil of Scars
Sinscared Series #1 A forbidden love. A betrayal lurking in the shadows. And a world built on blood, deception, and vengeance. In the ruthless world of the Italian mafia, loyalty is power, betrayal is death, and love... is a dangerous game. Serafina Moretti is no stranger to violence. Born into the mafia, she was shaped by its rules-cold, unforgiving, and unyielding. But there's one rule she can't control: the way she feels for Lucien Beauchene. Lucien has always been there-her protector, her confidant. But he's never been hers. His heart has always belonged to another woman. Now, bound by an arranged marriage that neither of them wanted, Serafina is forced to face a truth she's spent years running from: Lucien's love is a ghost. And as the Russian mafia closes in, their fragile peace teeters on the edge of destruction. Serafina must navigate a dangerous world of blood, betrayal, and lies, while fighting a love that was never truly hers to claim. In the end, the question isn't how far she'll go to save Lucien-but how much of herself she's willing to lose in the process?Complete
