Dante Valenti is a man feared by many and trusted by none. As the ruthless head of the Valenti crime syndicate, he has built an empire on blood and loyalty. But when his son disappears, only to be found in the arms of a woman who belongs to a world he cannot touch, his carefully controlled life spirals into chaos.
She should walk away.
He should take his son and forget her.
But neither of them can.
Bound by fate, drawn together by the innocent child between them, Aurélienne and Dante find themselves caught in a war of power, passion, and secrets-where love may be the most dangerous game of all.
In a world of crowns and crime, can a princess survive the wrath of a king?
