The Angel & The Heir

Ascensio University is a world of marble halls and whispered secrets, where old money bleeds into older sins.
Isadora Lane never planned to set foot here-until a scholarship and a coveted museum internship pulled her from New Orleans into the gilded, shadowed heart of Italy. She came for art. She didn't expect the haunting.

In the maze garden, she keeps catching glimpses of a boy too beautiful to be real. Black curls, unreadable eyes, a presence that vanishes like smoke. She calls him the ghost. She doesn't know he's Dante Moreau-brilliant student, ruthless heir to a criminal empire, and the one man in Veridell more dangerous than the whispers say.

Dante has been watching her from the moment she arrived.
She's his light. His obsession. His undoing.
And he will do anything to keep her-no matter how many rules he breaks, or how many bodies fall.

In a city built on power and blood, love like theirs can only end two ways:
with vows whispered at the altar...
or a requiem.
