She turned her grief into gold.
He turned his guilt into a throne.
Six years later, they meet again-at the crossroads of empire, obsession, and the ghosts they never buried.
When power meets its mirror, something has to break.
Devora Midnight built an empire from her sister's ashes.
Adelio Marchetti built a kingdom from guilt.
Now, the worlds they rule are colliding once more-beneath the flash of cameras, the weight of family secrets, and the eyes of enemies who never stopped watching.
One dinner reopens old wounds.
One secret threatens a dynasty.
And one whisper from the past could burn everything they've survived for.
Power. Desire. Control.
Loving Marchetti is a slow-burn psychological romance about two people who were never supposed to survive each other-
and the world that refuses to let them go.

The Traitor's Wife
My grief is a lie. His guilt a weapon. And remembering will destroy whoever I used to love. Maybe this was it. Maybe she had already crossed the line between the living and the lost. The thought of reuniting with Alexei, of seeing him again, wherever he was, felt less terrifying than stepping through that door to meet his killer. Death, at least, would have been merciful. Forget everything you think you know about mafia romance. This isn't a story about an innocent girl stumbling into a dangerous world. Claire lived in that world, she just can't remember how... or what it cost her. A love story where the deepest betrayal may be the one you inflict on yourself. Fair warning: this book will break you, reshape you, and leave you desperate for answers you're too afraid to face. ⚠️ Content Disclaimer ⚠️ This work contains mature themes and potentially triggering content, including but not limited to: violence, death, emotional abuse, manipulation, trauma, sexual tension, and morally complex relationships.

She falls straight into the arms of Enzo-the king of the underworld. Cold. Calculated. Ruthless. His power is absolute, his control unyielding, his desire terrifyingly magnetic. Where her past was darkness behind locked doors, he is darkness in velvet-possessive, patient, and lethal. He offers her protection, passion, and a dangerous kind of love... but every choice comes with a cost. In a world of blood, betrayal, and secrets, Arabella must confront the ultimate question: Is she trading one cage for another, or has she finally found a man worth risking everything for-even the world itself?
