In the world of The Dantes, love isn’t a choice—it’s fate, decided by the emergence of a mysterious soul mate tattoo.

The Dantes are legends—ruthless, untouchable, and bound by destiny itself. When a soul mate tattoo appears on their palm without warning, it also manifests on the one person they are meant to claim. Meant to protect. Meant to love. But fate’s gift doesn’t come without a price. Because in their world, love is the greatest risk of all.

Zane Dante is the family’s enforcer—the man who ensures the Dantes remain untouchable. He doesn’t ask questions. He doesn’t hesitate. And he never lets anyone close. His world is built on control, on unbreakable loyalty to the family. But when Lily Mirabella, the sharp-witted, rule-breaking hacker with a penchant for trouble, lands in the Dante crosshairs, his carefully constructed world is about to go up in flames.

Lily never wanted to be part of this life. She likes her independence, her secrets, and staying one step ahead of the people who would love to see her locked away. But when her skills make her a target and the wrong people come knocking, there’s only one way to keep her safe—
marrying her off to a Dante.

A marriage of convenience. A temporary arrangement. Just long enough to make sure she survives.

The problem?

Zane’s the one standing at the altar.

Lily is chaos wrapped in a leather jacket and attitude. She’s reckless, brilliant, and gets under his skin in ways no one ever has. And when enemies start closing in, Zane realizes protecting his inconvenient new wife isn’t just a job—it’s personal.
Because someone wants Lily dead.

And Zane? He’s about to show them exactly why no one touches what belongs to a Dante.

A dark, high-stakes mafia romance packed with forced proximity, marriage of inconvenience, and an explosive chemistry neither of them saw coming.

For readers who love powerful heroes, brilliant and fearless heroines, and a slow-burn tension that ignites into something unforgettable—
The Enforcer delivers a story of power, passion, and the dangerous line between love and survival.
