She was hired to destroy a mafia king.

He was waiting for her to try.

Vivienne Hart built her reputation on impossible cases. Harvard Law graduate. Former Department of Justice prosecutor. New York's most feared corporate crisis lawyer.

When an anonymous client offers five times her usual fee to investigate money laundering at DeLuca Maritime, she accepts.

It should have been another case.

Instead, it becomes a death sentence.

Because Adrian DeLuca isn't just a billionaire shipping magnate.

He's the undisputed head of New York's most powerful crime family.

A ruthless mafia king. A man politicians fear, rivals obey, and enemies never survive.

Within hours of Vivienne taking the case, Adrian knows exactly who she is.

Most mafia bosses would silence her.

Adrian sends her a gift instead.

A file about her dead father.

And a warning she can't ignore.

As Vivienne digs deeper into a web of corruption, betrayal, and blood-soaked secrets, she discovers the truth:

Adrian DeLuca isn't the monster she was hired to expose.

He's the only man standing between her and the people who murdered her father.

Now hunted by powerful enemies and trapped in a deadly game of political corruption, Vivienne is forced into an uneasy alliance with the dangerous mafia king who has been watching her every move.

An alliance that quickly becomes something far more dangerous.

Because Adrian doesn't make promises.

He makes claims.

And once he decides something belongs to him...

He never lets it go.

From glittering Manhattan galas to bloodstained Brooklyn docks, their hunt for the truth ignites a forbidden attraction neither of them can control.

But when secrets come to light and loyalties are tested, Vivienne must choose:

Walk away from the man who could destroy her.

Or trust the mafia king who would burn New York to the ground to protect her.

A steamy dark mafia romance featuring a powerful alpha hero, a brilliant lawyer heroine, enemies-to-lovers tension, forced proximity, dangerous secrets, political conspiracy, and a possessive hero who always gets what he wants.
