Carina is drawn to Salvatore LaGuardia like a moth to a flame-and just as doomed.
He's everything she shouldn't want: ruthless, devastatingly handsome, and the most dangerous man in the city. The head of the Italian Mafia, he moves through the world like a king, his power absolute, his sins written in blood.
And she can't resist him.
At first, it's just a game. She throws herself at him, reckless and curious, drawn to the danger in his smirk. He indulges her, amused by her boldness-until he isn't.
Because Salvatore discovers two things:
1. She's the daughter of the famous politician he murdered years ago.
2. She's been talking to the police.
Now, she's not just a plaything. She's a target.
But the closer he gets to ending her, the harder it is to resist the fire between them. Every touch is a battle. Every kiss is a betrayal.
She should hate him.
He should kill her.
Yet the line between revenge and obsession blurs, and soon, neither can tell where the vendetta ends... and the passion begins.

What he didn't plan on was Elenora Borelli, the enigmatic and fiery daughter of his enemy. Reeling from recent heartbreak, Elenora will stop at nothing to find her happiness. But when she finds herself pressured into an engagement with the dark and mysterious Federico, happiness may be the least of her problems.
