Heir to Ruin

Claudia Monroe is ice wrapped in skin, quiet, sharp, and merciless with her silence. The mafia world taught her one rule early on: softness gets you killed. Years ago, she learned that lesson the hard way... from the one man she trusted.

Vincenzo Salvatore is everything people fear. Ruthless. Controlled. Untouchable. As the heir to a powerful mafia empire, he doesn't hesitate, doesn't regret and never explains his choices. Especially not the one that cost him Claudia.

They were never lovers.
They were never enemies.
They were something far more dangerous-unfinished.

When fate drags them back into the same bloodstained world, old wounds rip open and buried truths claw their way to the surface.Claudia is no longer the girl Vincenzo left behind, and Vincenzo is no longer the man she once believed in. Yet the past still breathes between them, heavy with betrayal, secrets, and a love neither of them dares to name.

In a world ruled by power and violence, trust is deadly-and love is a liability.

But some bonds don't break.
They burn.
