He burned a warehouse to ash for her.

That was only the beginning.

Vivienne Hart never expected to fall for a mafia king.

Now she's living in Adrian DeLuca's penthouse, working beside his inner circle, and watching the ruthless head of New York's most powerful crime family wage war against enemies on every side.

The alliance was supposed to be temporary.

A brilliant lawyer and a dangerous mafia boss united by necessity.

Nothing more.

But nothing about Adrian feels temporary.

Not the way he watches her.

Not the way he protects her.

Not the way entire buildings seem to burn whenever someone threatens her.

And definitely not the way her heart races every time he walks into a room.

Adrian DeLuca has spent twenty-five years building an empire through power, loyalty, and fear.

He doesn't trust.

He doesn't love.

And he never lets anyone close enough to become a weakness.

Until Vivienne.

For the first time in decades, the feared mafia king finds himself wanting something he can't control.

Her.

Meanwhile, Sergei Volkov—a Russian oligarch with political influence, unlimited resources, and a personal vendetta against Adrian—has declared war on the DeLuca empire.

His weapons aren't just bullets.

They're judges.

Banks.

Governments.

The very system Vivienne once believed would always protect the innocent.

Now she's using that system to protect a man the law calls a criminal.

A man she is rapidly falling in love with.

But the greatest threat isn't outside the empire.

It's already inside.

A traitor hidden among Adrian's most trusted allies is feeding secrets to a shadowy enemy who has manipulated Adrian's life for over three decades.

A ghost.

A legend.

A monster named Warren Mercer.

When the betrayal is finally revealed, the truth is far worse than either of them imagined.

Because blood doesn't always mean loyalty.

And family can be the deadliest enemy of all.

Then, on the night Adrian finally lowers his guard...

On the night Vivienne finally admits what she feels...

An anonymous message arrives:

"He let his guard down for you.

That was his first mistake in twenty-five years.

It will be his last."

Enemies are closing in.

The empire is under siege.

And Adrian DeLuca is prepared to burn New York to the ground before he lets anyone take Vivienne from him.

A steamy dark mafia romance featuring a possessive mafia king, a powerful lawyer heroine, forbidden attraction, touch-her-and-die devotion, political conspiracy, family betrayal, high-stakes suspense, and an obsessive hero who will destroy anyone who threatens the woman he loves.
