She's the girl who survived hell. He's the man who was raised in it.
Valentina Rossi doesn't exist.
A killer with no past, no attachments, no weakness. Just the job.
Until Vincenzo Cartier.
Everything she shouldn't touch.
Heartless. Merciless.
A failed hit.
A name with no face.
And suddenly, nothing makes sense.
The hunter becomes the hunted.
He should kill her.
He doesn't.
He drags her into his life, a world where blood and power dictate the rules and desire... the deadliest weapon she'll ever know.
In a world that devours the weak, Vincenzo controls the board... she's his queen.
His pawn, his temptation, his weapon.
And the price of losing?
Everything.

Kissed by Chaos
#1st book of Chaos Series When fearless CEO Valentina Gomez clashes with ruthless Mafia Godfather Santino Costa, their rivalry ignites into a dangerous obsession. From enemies to lovers, their fiery hate turns into an all-consuming passion _________________ His fingers came to my chin, forcing me to look at him. "Queen," he murmured, his voice dark, "you wanted to die?" I didn't answer. I just stared at him. He smiled-cold, cruel. "I see. Your mouth isn't working now, is it?" My jaw tightened painfully. Then he leaned closer, his grip firm, his voice dropping to a whisper- "You want to die... but I won't let you." My breath hitched. "You don't get to die unless I allow it." For a second, my mind went blank. I just looked at him. Is he even in his right mind? His hold loosened just enough for me to breathe. My eyes drifted to the edge of the cliff. To the drop. His arms were still around me-loose... but there. I took a deep, shaky breath. "And if I decide," I said quietly, "that I don't care what you allow?" The satisfaction on his face disappeared. I pulled away from him. Without another word, I walked back to the car and got inside. ________ MATURE THEMES #9 feminine #22 lust 🥈 #34 rich #279 billionaire #90 hatelove #149 forced marriage #586 mafia #746 slowburn #203 hate #199 hope #28 sick #28 matureaudience #28 maturelanguage #151 couples #39 maturethemes #203 hatelove

Alessio Dorian Ferretti is the youngest and most feared mafia boss in Italy, a sovereign cloaked in silence and smoke. Cold, brilliant, and unreadable, he doesn't make threats. He makes promises - and keeps them with blood. Their paths were never meant to cross.
