If Loyalty Could Kill

Cassandra Brazzo has spent her life being protected. Hidden by her cousin, the mafia boss who's guarded her since childhood, she survived the brother who once tried to control her-and she's determined to survive him again. But now he's back in the States, ready to marry her off to strengthen overseas alliances, and nothing in her carefully controlled life can stop him.

John never wanted the job. Born of Spanish blood and heir to a powerful family, he ran from the life he was meant to inherit to save his little sister from a marriage she never wanted. Trained at Accolti HQ, he knows how to kill, how to survive-and how to protect. Cassandra looked like everything he despised: happy, entitled, untouchable. Until he saw the version no one else does-the quiet, resilient woman behind the smiles, the scars, the mask.

Now their lives are intertwined. Cassandra's safety is on the line. John's past is a ticking time bomb. Each secret, each choice, each moment together tests the limits of loyalty, blood, and desire. Falling for her is forbidden-but standing by and doing nothing is impossible.

In a world ruled by power and betrayal, loyalty isn't just deadly. It's war.
