My salvation

Adeline Marellti is the definition of fear. Ruthless, calculating, and untouchable, she built her empire on blood and loyalty , a loyalty that she demands but rarely gives. Her name alone sends shivers through the underworld, and crossing her means certain death. Cold, sharp-eyed, and always in control, Adeline doesn't make deals. She takes what she wants.

Jolene carter never expected to become part of a debt payment. Her father's gambling problem left him with nowhere to turn except to Adeline. Sold to the Mafia boss as collateral, Jolene is furious, humiliated, and determined to escape. But Adeline isn't interested in begging or apologies she sees Jolene as leverage. What starts as a tense standoff of sharp words and cold glares slowly begins to unravel when Jolene sees the cracks beneath Adeline's armour. And Adeline, for the first time, finds herself drawn to someone who isn't afraid to stand up to her.

Enemies by circumstance, drawn together by something darker, Adeline and Jolene walk a dangerous line between hatred and desire. In a world where betrayal is currency and love is weakness, Jolene might be Adeline's greatest downfall or her only salvation.
