The Mafia's Promise

I was never meant to fall in love.

I was meant to be traded.

Isla DeLuca was the only daughter of a powerful empire - and the price of peace between two cities. Married off at nineteen to the ruthless heir of a mafia dynasty, her future was sealed with a signature and a diamond ring.

Patricio Alvarez was focused. Controlled. Untouchable.

At least, he used to be.

Five years later, the empire he built with blood is beginning to crack. His temper is shorter. His nights are darker. And the white powder he swore he'd never touch now follows him home.

To the bedroom.
To the dinner table.
To her.

When Ric's grip on power begins to slip, whispers spread through his inner circle. Enemies circle closer. Even his own brother starts watching him like a ticking bomb.

But Isla sees something no one else does.

This isn't just addiction.

Someone wants the mafia king unstable.
Distracted.
Dead.

Now she's trapped between loyalty and survival - trying to save the man she married before his demons destroy them both.

Because loving a mafia king is dangerous.

But losing one?

That's fatal.
