Love and War

For centuries, blood has stained the history of two rival families: the Marinos and the Morellis, feared across Italy as The Black Hand. Their war began generations ago, after a Marino blade spilled the life of a Morelli heir. No justice was spoken aloud, but the memory never faded.

Ten years ago, tragedy struck again. When Piero Marino, Amaya's beloved grandfather, was murdered, her father fought for peace and negotiated a truce -- an end to the war that had devoured both families. But forgiveness never took root on the Morelli side. Quietly, secretly, they wanted Marino blood spilled in return.

And Domenico Morelli's father had a plan: Kill them all. Every last Marino. Accident, suicide, disappearance -- he didn't care how the bodies fell, only that they fell. His first target was the Marino princess herself: Amaya "Aria" Marino, the one girl who could unravel the family from the inside.

Dom was assigned to follow her, study her, gain her trust... and deliver her to her execution. A simple mission. A necessary mission.

But what Dom didn't expect...
Was to fall in love with her.

Now Dom faces the deadliest choice of his life -- his family or his heart.
