Tethered By His Last Crime (Romanova's Dominion #3)

He was her first everything.
She was his only softness in a world built on blood.

They were childhood sweethearts-first friend, first kiss, first love-two hearts learning to beat in sync before the world taught them what their last names truly meant.

In the world of mafia bloodlines, love means nothing when your name is wrong. Born into rival families, they were torn apart by a war that demanded loyalty over desire. Because in the mafia, love is a liability.

Years passed. Families turned colder. Promises burned.
Now, she wears another man's ring-a strategic engagement, a future carved in power. She buried every trace of him-of them-beneath silence and duty.

Until the day he returns.
And steals her.

No explanation. No apology. Just chains of memory, venomous love, and a touch that still knows every inch of her soul.

He is no longer the boy she loved. He is sharper now. Untamed. Unforgiving. Yet something lingers behind the rage in his eyes-something she doesn't understand.

As they run from the enemies hunting them both, she's forced to confront the cruelest truth of all:

The past never stayed buried. And the boy she once loved... may be the man who destroys her.
