Dangerously Devoted [H.S]

Valentina Rhodes has spent her life trapped in a world she never chose - one built on power, blood, and the kind of loyalty that destroys more than it protects. As the only daughter in a respected mafia family, she has always been expected to obey, to endure, and to play her part. Her future has never belonged to her, only to the people who have always seen her as something to be used, controlled, and eventually given away.

Harry Styles knows exactly what that world can take from a person. Cold, ruthless, and next in line to inherit his father's empire, he learned long ago that loving someone is the fastest way to get them killed. He has spent years becoming the man everyone expects him to be - untouchable, unfeeling, and far too dangerous to get close to. So when Valentina - the only woman he has ever truly loved - is forced back into his life through an arranged marriage, Harry is determined to keep his distance.

But distance is impossible when old feelings still burn beneath the surface.

Living under the same roof, bound by family expectation and surrounded by danger, Harry and Valentina find themselves dragged back into the wreckage of what they once were. Every shared glance is heavy with resentment. Every argument cuts deeper than it should. And every moment alone threatens to tear open the feelings they have both fought so hard to bury. Hatred turns fragile. Tension turns intoxicating. And the truth behind the betrayal that tore them apart threatens to unravel everything.

Because in a world like theirs, love is never gentle. It is possessive, unforgiving, and dangerous enough to destroy anyone caught in its path. The closer Valentina is pulled into Harry's life, the clearer it becomes that there is no safety in loving a man like him - only risk, ruin, and the promise of heartbreak.

Because Harry never stopped loving her.

And in a world where devotion can be deadly, loving Valentina may be the one thing that destroys them both.
