Heartless.
One word to describe Amara Alvarez. But she wasn't always this way.
Once, she was just a girl with a family, a future, a life untouched by blood and violence. Then the Italians took everything. They shattered her world, buried her past, and left her with nothing but a heart full of rage.
For almost a decade, Amara has lived in the shadows, a ghost among the living, hiding, surviving, waiting. She mourns the girl she was before the night they came for her, before she learned that monsters weren't just myths.
Now, she's done waiting.

The king of New York's underworld. A man feared as much as he is respected. He controls the city's wealthiest and most powerful, with blood on his hands and ice in his veins.
You don't provoke him.
You don't challenge him.
And most of all, you don't deceive him.
â
Deception is exactly what Amara intends to do.
To destroy the family who stole her life, she must become one of them. Marry the monster. Play the devoted wife. Infiltrate his empire. Make him trust her, just long enough to rip it all away.
But Lorenzo Caruso is not just a monster. He's calculated, merciless, impossible to break. The deeper Amara sinks into his world, the harder it becomes to tell who is truly in control.
She wants revenge.
He wants loyalty.
In a game of lies, deception, and betrayal, only one of them can win.
