Ruin

Valeria Moretti once lived under her father's protection. As the daughter of the American Mafia's most powerful leader, she was sheltered from the cruelty of his world. But when death claimed him, her freedom died with him. Giovanni, her brother, seized the throne and sold her into marriage with Ahmed Osman-a man who hides his malice behind silk, who cages Valeria with control and silence.

But before her father's final breath, a vow had already been made.

Rune Luciani, the feared and silent king of the Italian Mafia, swore to her father Valeria would never be left unprotected if he ever fell. A vow spoken only once, but carved into Rune's soul as deeply as the ink across his skin. Cold, merciless, and untouchable, Rune is a man whose very silence terrifies.

When her suffering under Ahmed can no longer be ignored, Rune steps from the shadows. His offer is not love, it is possession. A claim that shatters the underworld and sparks a war that will leave empires in ash.

Valeria is Rune's vow, his weakness, his ruin.
And anyone who crosses her path will feel the weight of his promise, because even the most feared man in the world can fall to his one weakness.
