Dante Russo is not a man to be crossed—or trusted. As the powerful heir to the Russo family empire, he thrives on control, loyalty, and the strategic alliances that keep their dominion intact. But when Alessia Cattaneo, the spirited daughter of a rival mafia family, becomes his reluctant wife, the carefully constructed rules of his world begin to fracture.
Alessia has been raised to navigate the dangerous games of loyalty and betrayal, but her marriage to Dante thrusts her into a new level of peril. With her father leveraging her as a pawn and Dante demanding her trust, Alessia must tread a fine line between allegiance and self-preservation. Each shared glance, every fraught conversation, draws her deeper into Dante's enigmatic world—and closer to a truth that could shatter her carefully guarded defenses.
As betrayals within the Russo family threaten their fragile truce, Alessia finds herself facing an impossible choice: risk everything to protect herself or place her faith in a man whose intentions remain a mystery. With alliances shifting and danger lurking at every turn, trust is not just a gamble—it’s the most dangerous game of all.
For readers who crave an intoxicating blend of slow-burning tension, power struggles, and forbidden romance, this is a story of two souls tethered by lies and bound by a destiny neither of them can escape.
This book is part of a trilogy and is not standalone.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
