When Ivy Marcelli is abducted from a gala and thrust into the violent world of the De Rossi crime family, she finds herself caught between two worlds—and two versions of herself. Her captor, Luca De Rossi, is everything she should fear: ruthless, enigmatic, and heir to one of Italy’s most feared mafia empires. But behind the blood-stained walls of his family’s power lies a man burdened by the weight of legacy—and drawn irresistibly to the fire Ivy brings to his cold world. As Ivy’s past unravels and dark family secrets rise to the surface, the line between enemy and ally blurs. Every stolen glance and forbidden touch draws her deeper into a web of danger, deception, and desire. With loyalty tested and blood spilled Ivy must decide whether to fight for her freedom—or surrender to a love forged in fire and betrayal. In a world ruled by power, only one thing is certain: blood may bind them, but vows will define them.
