Blood & Promises

Lena Moretti knows better than to trust men like Adrian Vale.

Adrian Vale lives by a different set of rules.

In his world, loyalty is bought with blood, betrayal is answered with violence, and secrets are the only things keeping people alive. He has spent years building an empire in the shadows, while carefully keeping Lena far away from it.

Until someone discovers she exists.

When a rival organization begins using Lena to get to Adrian, the walls he's built around his carefully separated lives begin to collapse. For the first time, Lena sees the man hiding behind the quiet smiles, black coffee, and teasing remarks.

And she discovers that Adrian isn't merely connected to the criminal underworld.

He rules part of it.

Suddenly, the man she thought she knew is a stranger.

The secrets between them become impossible to ignore, and the closer Lena gets to the truth, the more she begins to question everything she believed about Adrian-including whether the man she loves is capable of becoming someone she can still trust.

Because Adrian has always believed love is a weakness.

Until Lena becomes the one thing he cannot afford to lose.

Now his enemies know exactly where to strike.

Her.

And Adrian will have to choose between the empire he's spent his life building and the woman who has become more important than all of it.

But in Adrian's world, promises are made with blood.

And breaking one can cost everything.
