The Truth is the Only Way to be Set Free and be transformed by a love that is as old as time.
Stefano Leone is next in line to oversee the American-Italian Mafia. A flawless killer, savvy engineer, and a complete disbeliever in the BS concept of love, excellence in the art of monstrosity is all he's ever strived for. However, even the most merciless and lethal monsters have their weaknesses: and family along with a certain raven haired best friend are his.
Ilaira Valentina is an aspiring surgeon although her clumsiness through life makes her career choice questionable to those who don't know her. A gifted practicing surgeon, notoriously ill-timed, and optimistic to a fault, Ilaria has always been the one to give her all to those she loves: Even if those loves are working contradictions in her blood family that belittles her, and her chosen family that consist of the man she's silently in love with.
When a new drug cartel begins to make its presence known in Leone territory, challenges arise quicker than either Stefano or Ilaria are prepared to deal with. As loyalty is questioned, faith is put to the test, and love must be deciphered to be a risk worth taking or an evil to be set aflame. Both Stefano and Ilaria must learn to be honest with themselves and each other about who they are and who they want to be in order to survive the humbling storm knocking at their pride's doors.

One of Manhattan's youngest pediatric surgeons, she spends her days stitching up children and her nights keeping her demons in check. Raised under her parents' strict Southern roof-with gospel in her ears and shame stitched into her spine-Evangeline ran to New York for more than ambition. She came for air. For control. For secrets. She never expected to find him-a man bleeding to death behind a dumpster in the freezing cold, clutching a gun like it was a lifeline. One look into those brutal, obsidian eyes and Evangeline knew: this man was not a victim. He was a threat. And somehow, she still brought him home. He said his name was Lorenzo DeLuca. She knew it belonged to a monster. Not just a mafia prince-but the heir to the DeLuca empire. A man carved from violence and baptized in blood. A man who's used to getting what he wants-and now he wants her. Lorenzo is sin in human form. dark silk, loaded guns, and soft-spoken commands. He makes promises that sound like threats and touches her like she's already his. He says he'll protect her from his world-but his world is made of bodies, betrayal, and war. And Evangeline? She's no saint. What begins as a mercy spirals into a dangerous obsession. He's possessive. Unforgiving. Addicted. And the deeper Evangeline falls into Lorenzo's shadows, the more she questions everything-her morals, her loyalties, even her own pleasure. Because nothing about this is holy. Nothing about him is safe. But God, she craves him anyway. And she might not survive what loving him will cost.Concluida
