The Cost of Devotion by wholesomeartifacts

Octavia Moretti has spent her life in the shadows of the mafia world. Silent, calculating, and untouchable. But when an assassination attempt leaves her father on his deathbed, she's forced into an arranged marriage with their family's greatest enemy: Luca Barone. Luca is ruthless, feared, and utterly merciless. He never wanted a wife, let alone her; the woman who hates him for her brother's death. But their marriage isn't about love; it's about power. A fragile truce to unite two warring families against a traitor in their ranks. Octavia refuses to be a pawn, and Luca refuses to be distracted. But when she's ambushed and left for dead, everything changes. Luca finds her bleeding out, barely alive; and something inside him snaps. Nobody touches what's his. From that moment, Luca is obsessed with protecting her, his need to hunt down the men who hurt her becoming a brutal, unforgiving mission. He doesn't go into hiding; he makes them run. While Octavia struggles against his control, Luca wages war in her name, carving a path of vengeance through the underworld. But Octavia is no damsel in distress. She won't be locked away, won't be controlled, and certainly won't let Luca fight her battles alone. As their forced proximity turns to something more dangerous; a desire neither of them can fight; the lines between hate and obsession blur. Loyalty will be tested. Betrayal is inevitable. And when the truth about who ordered the hit comes to light, it won't just break their fragile alliance; it will force them to decide if protecting each other is worth setting the world on fire.
