Belladonna

In a world where loyalty is bought in blood and love is a dangerous weakness, he rules with a steady hand-and a loaded gun.
Feared, untouchable, and bound to a legacy he chose, for revenge and loyalty he has built his empire on control. Nothing slips through his fingers. Nothing surprises him.
Until her.
She wasn't supposed to matter.
Not the girl with secrets hidden behind quiet, calm but calculated eyes that stood up to him at every turn.
Not the girl who walks into his world like she belongs there.
But Lucia is no ordinary woman.
She is temptation wrapped in innocence.
A cure he never knew he needed and the poison that brings him down to his knees.
And a storm that's going to overtake him wholly.
Because in his world, love isn't soft.
It's dangerous.
It's deadly.
And sometimes... it needs a little push.

A debt paid in blood... and sealed with a ring.
He married her out of duty. He kept her out of obsession.
She was his obligation. She became his weakness.
