The Blood Between Us

Fourteen years ago, Declan Moretti put a gun to an eight-year-old girl's world and pulled the trigger.

He killed her parents in the rain, looked her in the eyes, and let her live with one final warning: If I ever see you again, I'll kill you the same way I killed them. Then he disappeared, leaving Grace with nothing but nightmares, a Roman eagle tattoo burned into her memory, and a promise soaked in blood.

Now twenty-two, Grace is done running. She's clawed her way into Declan's empire, determined to destroy the man who destroyed her family. She tells herself it's justice. She tells herself she's not afraid.

But the moment their eyes meet again, the lie unravels.

The man she came to ruin is colder, sharper, and far more dangerous than the monster in her dreams. And worse-he's looking at her like he remembers. Like the promise still stands.

Every day she works beside him is a gamble. Every glance is a loaded gun. Every accidental touch threatens to shatter the careful distance between hatred and something far more lethal.

The Blood Between Us is a dark, slow-burn mafia romance about vengeance, forbidden desire, and the devastating question: What if the only person who can destroy you is also the only one who can save you?
