College student Samaria Bennett works nights at a bar and avoids trouble-until a favor for a friend lands her dancing at a secret club, catching the eye of Tristian Lucio, a powerful mafia leader.
Tristian becomes obsessed. Samaria wants nothing to do with him-or his name. The Lucio's practically her mother, and she's spent years burying the pain. But Tristian doesn't back down, and soon Samaria is caught in a deadly game of desire, revenge, and buried secrets.
She wants justice. He wants her. And neither of them is ready for what comes next.
A dark, enemies-to-lovers romance full of tension, danger, and obsession.
After losing her parents to the brutal hands of a ruthless mafia gang, a young girl is left to fend for herself in a world that shows no mercy. Hardened by grief and fueled by vengeance, she dedicates her entire life to mastering martial arts, preparing to infiltrate the very organization that tore her family apart.
Years later, her plan is set in motion. She earns the gang's trust, climbing the ranks, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. But when she witnesses the gruesome execution of a traitor, she realizes the deadly cost of betrayal. Still, her resolve remains unshaken.
However, fate intervenes in the cruelest of ways. As she inches closer to vengeance, she finds herself unexpectedly drawn to the son of the mafia boss-a man she should despise, yet whose warmth and kindness begin to melt her hardened heart.
Now, torn between love and revenge, she must choose: destroy the man who unknowingly took everything from her, or risk it all for a future she never thought possible.
