Excerpt: I held my breath, my feet touching the ground softly, careful not to wake him. For a normal person, my escape should have been a near-certain success. For a sleeping Vicenzo, I wasn't sure I'd even reach 30%. Just as I twisted the knob open, his voice cut through the dark — low, grouchy, thick with sleep. "Run, Vixen. Run far. Because when I catch you, I'll make sure you never forget you belong to me." My breath hitched. And so I did as I was told. I ran. Blurb: "She wears a cross... yet tempts me like sin itself." — Vicenzo Moretti "He was meant to break me. So why do I crave the fall?" — Roxanne Kavanagh Roxanne Kavanagh was raised to be pure, obedient, untouched — a nun in training who knew nothing of the world beyond the convent walls. But the night before she takes her vows, everything is stolen from her. Declared unworthy and cast aside, she's delivered into the hands of Vicenzo Moretti — the ruthless mafia king feared by everyone who crosses him. Vicenzo doesn't want a bride. He wants control. Someone to shape, to own, to bend to his will. But Roxanne's quiet defiance stirs something in him he thought was long dead. In a world built on blood and betrayal, their forbidden bond ignites a war between sin and salvation. What begins as destruction may become redemption — if love can survive what stands against it.
