In the heart of a sprawling city dominated by mafia families, Adrienne Rossi, a sharp, independent woman, is suddenly thrust into a world she thought she had escaped. Adrienne's father was once a feared crime boss, but after his mysterious death, she chose to distance herself from the family business, opting for a quiet life. That is, until a brutal attack forces her to forcefully return to her roots.
Enter Adrik "The Tempter" Antonov, a ruthless enforcer for the rival Moretti family. He's cold, calculating, and has a reputation for leaving no one alive if they stand in his way. But when he's tasked with hunting down Adrienne to silence the last living Rossi, he finds himself captivated by her strength and beauty.
As Adrik closes in on her, Adrienne realizes she has no choice but to fight back. Forced into an uneasy alliance, the two must navigate a world of treachery, shifting all past disagreements aside. The deeper they become entangled, the more they uncover about the shadowy forces that killed her father-and the dark, twisted bond between their families that could either destroy them or bind them together forever.
