Blind with ambition, Roman takes on his final task to replace his father as the leader of the X Empire. His name and reputation is on the line and he will stop at nothing to achieve his goal, especially if it requires ruining a family that destroyed his. After giving into temptation once before, he swore to never give in again, except this time... he has no choice.
Innocent, but still aware of the underworld to which her father operates, Evangeline is a knowing pawn to a game much larger than she could imagine. She refuses to involve herself in such business but was taught to spot others who have... except that's her only training. No matter how much her family wished for her to learn combat, she would always turn it down. After all; ignorance is bliss.
Her worst dreams come true as does his greatest ambition - but at what cost?

One of Manhattan's youngest pediatric surgeons, she spends her days stitching up children and her nights keeping her demons in check.

She never expected to find him-a man bleeding to death behind a dumpster in the freezing cold, clutching a gun like it was a lifeline. One look into those brutal, obsidian eyes and Evangeline knew: this man was not a victim. He was a threat. And somehow, she still brought him home. He said his name was Lorenzo DeLuca. She knew it belonged to a monster. Not just a mafia prince-but the heir to the DeLuca empire. A man carved from violence and baptized in blood. A man who's used to getting what he wants-and now he wants her. Lorenzo is sin in human form. dark silk, loaded guns, and soft-spoken commands. He makes promises that sound like threats and touches her like she's already his. He says he'll protect her from his world-but his world is made of bodies, betrayal, and war. And Evangeline? She's no saint. What begins as a mercy spirals into a dangerous obsession. He's possessive. Unforgiving. Addicted. And the deeper Evangeline falls into Lorenzo's shadows, the more she questions everything-her morals, her loyalties, even her own pleasure. Because nothing about this is holy. Nothing about him is safe. But God, she craves him anyway. And she might not survive what loving him will cost.Complete

LENORE --- BORN FROM ASHES.
LENORE AND ROMAN--- "The doctors say it's not anemia... it's leukemia." The words hit me like a bullet. I stood frozen, breath caught, as Lenore let out a strangled scream. "No! No, it can't be!" she cried, her voice cracking in agony. The doctors explained how the earlier reports had been forged-someone had lied, and now the truth came crashing down on us like a storm. They spoke about chemotherapy, its brutal side effects-hair loss, weakness, pain. But Lenore cut them off mid-sentence. "No! I can't do it. I won't!" she shouted, eyes wide with panic. I tried to reach her. "Baby, it's just hair-" "No, Roman, you don't understand!" she screamed. "It's not just hair. It's the only thing left of my father... after he died, it was all I had of him." She collapsed into sobs, trembling. And then, in the most terrifying moment of my life, she coughed-blood spilled from her lips, splattering the floor. Her eyes flickered. "Lenore!" I rushed forward, catching her just as her body went limp. "Wake up, baby... please, don't leave me. You can't leave me like this." Her eyelids fluttered for a brief second-like a whisper of hope-then closed again. The monitor screamed a long, flat line. "Do something!" I roared at the doctors. They shocked her once. Twice. Again. No response. She was gone. Lenore. My queen. The love of my life. Taken by truth, betrayal, illness, and fate. --- Will Roman survive the weight of his guilt and grief? Will the memory of Lenore become his curse-or his redemption? Dice now rolls in the story of Lenore and Roman-betrayal, illness, and ego standing in their path. Will love resurrect from the ashes? --- Thanks for choosing this book 📖 ❤️ 😊Complete
