She thought the worst day of her life was watching the man she loved propose to someone else.
She was wrong.
Eleanor Rossi has loved Luca Mancini since they were children-best friends, soulmates, or so she thought. But when he gets engaged to a perfectly polished heiress and leaves her heart in pieces, Elle spirals into a night of reckless passion with a seductive stranger. One night. No names. No regrets.
Until he walks into the wedding rehearsal dinner.
Dante Mancini-Luca's estranged older brother, black sheep of the family, and the only man Luca truly hates-is back in town. Ruthless, magnetic, and freshly out of exile, Dante promised his parents he'd behave for the wedding. That was before he realized the woman he can't stop thinking about is his baby brother's best friend.
As secrets unravel and long-buried betrayals rise to the surface, Elle is forced to choose between the man she once loved... and the one man who might ruin everything.
Loving Dante isn't just forbidden. It's a declaration of war.
And in the Mancini family, love always comes with a body count.
