The Mafia Queen's Revenge

"I didn’t marry a dangerous man because I wanted to be safe. I married him because a king is easiest to bleed when he invites you into his bed."

Twelve years ago, my family was massacred in the dark. The world moved on, but I didn't. I spent over a decade forging myself into a weapon with one singular purpose: to tear the Ravelli criminal empire down to its foundations. So when their ruthless, cold-blooded heir needs a politically advantageous bride to secure his seat, I offer myself up on a silver platter. Ettore Ravelli thinks he’s gaining a compliant society wife to stabilize his fractured council. He has no idea that every smile is an execution order, every touch is calculated, and every secret I steal from his vaults brings him one step closer to ruin. He knew I was a viper the second I slipped the ring onto my finger. Ettore trusts nobody, forgives nothing, and rules northern Italy with an iron fist. He knows nobody volunteers to marry a monster without hiding a blade behind their back. Yet instead of locking me out, he pulls me closer. He hands me the keys to his fortress, matches my venom with pure, possessive fire, and dares me to take my shot. When bullets start flying and a decades-old conspiracy proves our families' blood feud was built on a foundation of lethal lies, our game of mutually assured destruction shatters. Now, the man I swore on my parents' graves to execute is the only thing standing between me and the dark. I came into his house to end his bloodline. Now, I’m ready to burn Italy to the ground to keep his crown on his head.
