The Last Oath
Alessia Moretti has always known her role: the dutiful daughter of one of Italy's most feared mafia bosses, a porcelain jewel locked away in silk and shadow. Her life has been carefully arranged-glittering parties, whispered alliances, and the unspoken truth that her every choice reflects on the empire her father built from blood and fire. But when fate draws her into the path of Dario Vitale, the son of her father's sworn enemy, the fragile order of her world begins to shatter. Dario is everything she has been warned against-ruthless, magnetic, and bound by a family oath to destroy the Morettis at any cost. Their first meeting is a spark, their second a blaze, and soon Alessia finds herself consumed by a passion that is as forbidden as it is irresistible. Their love is a betrayal written in the language of bullets and blood. To be discovered means certain death, not only for them but for everyone caught between their families' feud. Yet secrecy cannot hold forever, and every stolen glance, every midnight encounter, draws them closer to exposure-and to a war that could burn the city to ash. As loyalty and desire wage war in her heart, Alessia must choose: her family's empire, or the man she was never meant to love. But in a world where betrayal is survival and oaths are carved in blood, no choice comes without sacrifice.
