Eleanor Silvestro I was never meant to survive the night I saw too much. One wrong turn, one blood-soaked secret, and suddenly I was face-to-face with the underworld-held hostage by men who rule it with cold eyes and quicker triggers. But instead of silencing me, Detari Russo-heir to the Italian-American Mafia throne-made me an offer: marry him, live under the code of silence, and walk away untouched. On paper, it was protection. Power. A calculated game of survival. In reality? It was war. With myself. With him. With the ghosts I've buried deep beneath the armor I wear. I've spent my life pretending to be bulletproof, hiding the cracks no one sees-but Detari? He looks right through me. And somehow, the man I should fear most becomes the only one who makes me feel safe. We thought a staged marriage would keep the wolves at bay. But when old enemies resurface and a betrayed heir named Nico wants his crown back, the lies we tell might not be enough to keep us alive- ...or keep me from falling for the one man I was never supposed to trust. -Dark Romance/Mafia Romance -Marriage of Convenience -Slow Burn -Enemies to Lovers -Grumpy MMC x Brat FMC
