He inherited a throne of blood. She inherited a cage of silence.
At just 18, Lucien Nerezza becomes the don of the Nerezza mafia empire cold-eyed, sharp-tongued, and feared for crimes he didn't ask to lead. They call him heartless. Reckless. Dangerous. But they don't know that the death of his father didn't just leave a legacy it left a wound.
Elara Amara Virelle was never meant to be seen.
Sheltered by her overbearing brothers after a threat nearly destroyed her, she's lived behind the walls of illusion, mistaken for fragile a girl made of glass. But Elara is no stranger to shadows. She just hides her fire behind silk and sorrow.
When fate drags her into Lucien's world bullets, secrets, and betrayal their collision is inevitable.
He's the storm everyone fears.
She's the calm no one saw coming.
And together? They're everything the world tried to destroy.
In a world where power means everything, and trust can kill, can two misjudged souls rewrite their own definitions or will the past bleed through the present before they get the chance?

The Last Oath
Alessia Moretti has always known her role: the dutiful daughter of one of Italy's most feared mafia bosses, a porcelain jewel locked away in silk and shadow. Her life has been carefully arranged-glittering parties, whispered alliances, and the unspoken truth that her every choice reflects on the empire her father built from blood and fire. But when fate draws her into the path of Dario Vitale, the son of her father's sworn enemy, the fragile order of her world begins to shatter. Dario is everything she has been warned against-ruthless, magnetic, and bound by a family oath to destroy the Morettis at any cost. Their first meeting is a spark, their second a blaze, and soon Alessia finds herself consumed by a passion that is as forbidden as it is irresistible. Their love is a betrayal written in the language of bullets and blood. To be discovered means certain death, not only for them but for everyone caught between their families' feud. Yet secrecy cannot hold forever, and every stolen glance, every midnight encounter, draws them closer to exposure-and to a war that could burn the city to ash. As loyalty and desire wage war in her heart, Alessia must choose: her family's empire, or the man she was never meant to love. But in a world where betrayal is survival and oaths are carved in blood, no choice comes without sacrifice.
Blood Ties & Broken Vows
She was raised to smile sweetly and shoot without mercy. He was trained to rule an empire built on blood. Kataleya Rosario is the Cuban cartel princess no one sees coming-an assassin hidden beneath silk, a woman wrapped in charm but forged in violence. She follows her own rules, fears no man, and plays a deadly game with a smile on her blood-red lips. Adrian Romero is the cold, calculating heir to the Italian mafia throne. Feared by all. Loved by none. Except for the one girl who broke his heart when they were teenagers-the one girl he could never have. Now, they're being forced into an arranged marriage meant to end a war. But Kataleya doesn't bow, and Adrian doesn't beg. And love? That's not part of the contract. As secrets unravel, bullets fly, and passion ignites into obsession, the lines between love and hate blur. Beneath the violence lies a truth neither of them wants to admit-they were made for each other. But in a world where betrayal is currency and power means everything, can two assassins trust the one person who could destroy them both? 50 chapters of romance, war, and filthy temptation. Enemies. Lovers. And one final vow sealed in blood.Complete

In a world where trust means the difference between life and death, Elara's kindness is both her greatest strength and her most dangerous vulnerability.
