Blood & Betrayal

The Vow is Silent. The War is Not.
To the world, Elena De Luca is the crown jewel of the Naples Syndicate-perfect, obedient, and fragile. But behind her doll-like porcelain mask and platinum waves, she is a thief. She spends her nights cracking her father's safes and gathering the secrets that keep her family's empire from crumbling. She's looking for a way out, but instead, she's sold.
To settle a decades-old blood feud, Elena is traded like a piece of territory to the man who haunts her family's nightmares: Dante Moretti.
Dante is known as "The Butcher"-a man of shadows, cold logic, and lethal efficiency. He didn't agree to this marriage for peace. He agreed to it to get his hands on the woman he's been watching from the darkness for a year. He knows Elena isn't the innocent princess her father claims. He knows she's a spy, a liar, and a thief.
And he wants her anyway.
Trapped in a house of secrets and bound by a ring that feels like a shackle, Elena realizes Dante isn't just her enemy-he's the only one who truly sees her. As the line between hate and obsession blurs, the dark truth about their families' past begins to surface.
In a world where love is a weakness and betrayal is the only currency, Elena must decide: Will she burn the Moretti empire down to save herself, or will she join the monster who is determined to keep her?
