Book Two of The Possession Trilogy

Luciella De'Rosa has everything she fought for-power, control, and a man ruthless enough to stand beside her.

Engaged to Matteo Ferraro and ruling a united empire, Luciella now sits at the top of New York City's criminal underworld. Together, they are untouchable. Unbreakable.

Or so they thought.

Because someone has been watching her.

Someone who remembers exactly who she used to be.

Seven years ago, at just sixteen, Luciella made her first kill. A moment that should have been buried in the past-handled, erased, forgotten under her father's rule. But not all mistakes stay hidden. Not all enemies stay dead.

Now, the past has come back for her.

It begins with whispers-unknown numbers, lingering shadows, threats that feel far too personal. Then it escalates into something far more dangerous. Someone is hunting her the way she once hunted others... and this time, there's no one left to clean up her mess.

Matteo refuses to let her face it alone. Bound by loyalty and love, he stands at her side, vowing to protect her at any cost-even if it means dragging her away from the empire they built. Even if it means war.

In the midst of chaos, they cling to one thing untouched by blood: their future. A wedding in Italy promises a brief escape-a moment of peace in a world that never stops demanding more.

But peace never lasts.

The moment Matteo is pulled away on business, the illusion shatters.

Because Luciella De'Rosa isn't just being threatened anymore.

She's been claimed.

Taken by a ghost from her past, Luciella is forced into a deadly game where survival means confronting the very thing she's tried to outrun for years. And this time, power won't save her.

Because she's not the hunter anymore.

She's the one who's been marked.
