The Ghost's Heir

Seraphina Volkov has never understood people the way she understands equations. At nineteen, she's already a published researcher, fluent in five languages, and utterly clueless about love - until one midnight phone call changes everything.
A stranger tells her she has four minutes to escape her own lab. She doesn't ask questions. She runs.
The man who saves her is Cassian De Luca - billionaire, philanthropist, the face on every magazine cover in Europe. What the world doesn't know is that Cassian is also Il Fantasma: The Ghost, the youngest and most feared mafia boss on the continent, a man whose real face no enemy has lived long enough to describe.
Cassian knows exactly who Seraphina is. She doesn't.
Twenty years ago, Seraphina's real family was slaughtered for what runs in her blood - a bloodline older and more dangerous than the five families that now rule Europe's underworld. She was hidden, renamed, protected from the shadows by a promise Cassian made to a dead man. Now that promise has a face, a mind he can't stop studying, and a habit of looking at the deadliest man in Europe like he's a fascinating problem to solve.
As Seraphina's past claws its way to the surface, Cassian has to choose between the empire he built and the girl he was never supposed to want. And Seraphina has to decide if the truth about who she really is is something she can survive knowing.
No misunderstandings. No games. Just two people the world is determined to tear apart - and everything they're willing to burn down to stay together.
