The Thorn of an Heir

Sienna Ricci is the last ember of a dying flame, the forgotten daughter of a fallen empire.

For years, she's plotted her revenge against the man who seized her family's throne: Alessio Valentino.

They call him The Ghost. A ruthless billionaire don who rules the city with a velvet glove over an iron fist.

He's cold, calculating, and the last man Sienna would ever want to be near.

But when a shocking truce is declared, its price is her hand in marriage. She's to become Alessio's wife, a beautiful bird in a gilded cage, a symbol of his ultimate victory.

What Alessio doesn't know is that his new bride has thorns. What Sienna doesn't know is that the marriage isn't a cage-it's a shield. A greater threat is circling both their families, and this union is a desperate gambit to draw a traitor out of the shadows.

Forced under one roof, their simmering hatred soon competes with a dangerous, undeniable attraction. In a world of lies and violence, the line between enemy and lover blurs. And in a game where you can't trust anyone, sometimes the person you hate the most is the only one you can trust with your life.
