Blood & fur

Amara Khalil has always been the quiet one in her wealthy Lebanese-American family - too soft-spoken for her father's ruthless business world, too kind-hearted for her older sister's venom. The only reason they ever treated her well. The massive inheritance her late grandfather left her. But when they finally trap her into signing it over, the mask comes off... and so does the kindness.

Enter Lucian De Rossi - half Italian, half Argentine, and the powerful leader of an Italian Mafia empire that stretches far beyond New York. Trained by Amara's grandfather from the time he was a boy, Lucian owes everything to the man who built him. And the old man's dying wish? For Lucian to protect his youngest granddaughter... and marry her.

Lucian is danger in a tailored suit - flirty, shamelessly possessive, and the kind of man who gets what he wants. And now? He wants her. Amara's soft touch haunts him. Her defiance draws him in. And her innocence? It makes him vow to burn down the world before he lets anyone else have her.

But in a city where loyalty is currency and betrayal bleeds deep, protecting Amara means dragging her into a world of power, obsession, and bullets. She's never belonged in the dark... but Lucian will make her his light, even if it means destroying everything in their way.

He was her grandfather's protégé. She was supposed to be untouchable.
Now she's the one thing he'll never let go.
