Blaire was forged in silence and survival. A tech prodigy raised by the Cross Organization after a failed assassination attempt shattered her family, she's lived in the shadows of a legacy she doesn't fully understand. The last living heir of the powerful Tornk empire, Blaire hides a fish-shaped birthmark behind her ear-and a mind wired for code, strategy, and escape.
Brilliant but guarded, she's fiercely loyal to the misfit operatives who became her family. But when betrayal exposes their safe house and secrets begin to unravel, Blaire must face the truth: her bloodline is a target, her identity is a weapon, and her heart-especially when it comes to Lorennzo-is the most dangerous gamble of all.

Lorennzo is a former mafia boss turned rogue arms dealer, a man whose charm is as lethal as his poisons. Obsessed with nuclear tech and biochemical warfare, he's built an empire on secrets, betrayal, and fear. Beneath the tailored suits and wicked smirks lies a man haunted by power-and by the girl he failed to kill.
He helped orchestrate the purge of the Tornk family, but now finds himself entangled with its last surviving heir. Lorennzo doesn't believe in fate. He believes in leverage. And Blaire? She's the one variable he can't control.
Together, Blaire and Lorennzo are locked in a volatile dance of danger, legacy, and emotional warfare. One seeks truth. The other hides it. And in a world built on betrayal, their connection may be the deadliest gamble of all.

She was born into a dynasty. He was born to rule the world's deadliest empire. Together, they burned everything down to rise from the ashes. Anastacia Dinara Romanov was criminal royalty, the only daughter of the infamous Russian Don. Raised behind palace gates and bulletproof glass, she was protected by four ruthless Romanov men: her father and three fiercely loyal brothers. Her life was shadowed by violence but wrapped in loyalty. And in that world, one boy always saw her: Leonardo Vincenzo, heir to the Italian Mafia throne, a silent protector whose love never needed words. But power is rarely enough to protect a girl from the man she chooses. Victor Armando, son of the Mexican cartel king who once kidnapped her mother and left her to die, entered Anastacia's life with a lie wrapped in love. Against her family's warnings, she married him for peace. Instead, she became his possession. What began as a treaty quickly turned into a gilded cage, a slow-burning war waged behind closed doors. Victor didn't need to break her with fists; he did it with silence, shame, manipulation, and betrayal. He shattered her spirit, destroyed her body image, and isolated her from everyone who ever loved her. His mistress, Lisa, taunted her. And he let it happen. Until Anastacia overheard a plan that would end her family. That was the moment everything changed. In secret, she stole files, recordings, passwords, everything. She risked her life for evidence. And when the weight of it all became unbearable, she broke. But Leonardo never stopped watching. The necklace he gave her, his final act of love, saved her life. He found her. He saved her. And then, together, they began her vengeance. Taken to Italy, hidden and healed under Leonardo's protection, Anastacia trained to become a force. In the arms of the world's most feared Don, she didn't just survive; she transformed. She's not the girl who fell for a lie. She's the storm coming to burn it all down.
