Under the Scalpel

At the elite and terrifying Valentis Medical Academy, brilliance is currency and weakness is hunted.
Nico Bellini. Demitri De Luca. Giovanni Rossi.
Three world-famous surgeons.
Three mafia kings.
Three men feared by politicians, worshipped by students, and obeyed without question.
Then Elena Volkov walks into their anatomy lecture with trembling hands, haunted blue eyes, and secrets carved into her skin.
At nineteen, Elena is determined to become a doctor despite a childhood built from violence, fear, and survival. She hates hospitals. Hates needles. Hates the sound of surgical gloves snapping into place. But she refuses to run from medicine again.
The men notice her immediately.
Not because she is loud.
Not because she begs for attention.
Because she looks at pain like she already knows it intimately.
As rival mafia families circle closer and the academy becomes a battlefield hidden beneath white coats and surgical steel, Elena is dragged into a world where these dangerous men decide she belongs to them.
Protective.
Obsessive.
Controlling.
But beneath the darkness, they slowly become the first people to ever treat her like something precious instead of disposable.
And Elena discovers the most terrifying thing of all:
She may want them just as badly.
