Anna Agostino has lived in fear of the men in her life for as long as she can remember.
In a world ruled by men, she survives like the roses behind the chapel near her family's estate-hidden, thorned, and quietly clinging to life.

Her father-untouchable, calculating, and cruel-promised her at nine years old to Silvio Romano, the ruthless son of his consigliere. She's heard the whispers: ruthless. Untouchable. loyal to the Famiglia to his last breath.
On her nineteenth birthday, when they wed, she knows she'll be handed from one monster to another.

Silvio has been forged into a blade-sharp, disciplined, and unwavering in his duty.
But his loyalty is not blind. For years, he and his closest friends have been gathering evidence-uncovering the corruption and blood-soaked secrets of the Chairman and their own fathers.

Now the wedding is approaching, and the girl he once viewed as an obligation is no longer a child-she's a haunted young woman with secrets of her own.

Can Silvio protect the woman he was never meant to love?
And when the truth demands blood, will he have the strength to do what must be done-even if it means betraying the loyalty etched into his very being?

DISCLAIMER: This book contains explicit content and mature themes intended for readers aged 18 and over. It is not a traditional romance, but rather a deeply complex and dark exploration of a toxic relationship. The characters' dynamics involve intense emotional manipulation, power struggles, and actions that may be triggering to some readers. Please be advised that this story delves into themes that are explicit, emotionally charged, and may not be suitable for all audiences. Proceed with caution. "Tell me again how you don't want me," he whispers, dragging his lips down her neck. "Say it under oath, and I might even believe you." Jasmine Taylor doesn't lose. Not in the courtroom, not in life. At just twenty-six, she's built an ironclad reputation: fierce, brilliant, and unshakably professional. But when she's assigned the biggest case of her career-defending Dimitri Alekseev, a dangerously alluring Russian immigrant accused of murder-her world begins to crack. Dimitri isn't just a suspect. He's a problem. Tall, tattooed, and terrifyingly unreadable, with ties to a powerful family the law doesn't dare touch. The evidence against him is overwhelming. The press wants him buried. And deep down, Jasmine suspects the whispers are true. But the more time she spends with him, the harder it becomes to separate fact from instinct. Because beneath his cold exterior is something intoxicating. Calculated charm. Raw heat. And secrets whispered in the dark. As the trial barrels forward, Jasmine finds herself pulled into his world-one filled with shadows, blood ties, and undeniable temptation. The closer she gets to the truth, the more she risks not just her career, but her safety... and her soul. What happens when the woman who always plays by the rules falls for the man who was born to break them?
