What if the man you married to destroy his family was the one person who could prove your father died for you? They murdered Raina Hills’s father, shattered her life, and left her to survive the violence that followed. Years later, she returns with a new name, a pistol, and one purpose: bring down the Moretti empire—and the men who helped build it. Her first target is Lucian Moretti, the ruthless heir whose family has ruled through fear, blood, and carefully buried secrets. But Raina’s plan takes an unexpected turn when Lucian offers her a marriage that would place her inside the dynasty she intends to destroy. She accepts, promising herself that every smile, every kiss, and every vow is just another weapon. Then the truth starts to surface. Her father’s death was no simple debt collection. His secrets reach from the Moretti family to powerful men who have spent years protecting one another. And Lucian, the man Raina means to use, may have been closer to her family’s tragedy than she can bear. As alliances shift and the empire begins to fracture, Raina must decide how far she’ll go for revenge—and whether there is any difference between loving a monster and becoming one. She won’t fall in love with Lucian until the end. By then, the choice she faces will be as final as the gun in her hand. They took her father. They took her future. Now Raina is coming for their empire—and she will decide who walks away from its ashes.

What if the man you came to destroy had already decided you were his? The first words Nikolai “Niko” Draven says to Vivian Shaw are an accusation: “Tell me why your father tried to kill me.” Niko is a feared motorcycle-club president, permanently blind since the bombing that killed his younger brother—or so he has believed for six years. Vivian is the daughter of the mechanic blamed for that blast, a man who died in prison insisting he was innocent. She has accepted a job as Niko’s personal assistant for one reason: to get close enough to ruin him. But Niko has been waiting for her. He knows who she is, what her father was accused of, and exactly where she grew up. He hires her to uncover the truth, while secretly intending to make her depend on him before destroying everything she loves. Vivian has her own plan: make Niko fall for her, then break his heart. The trouble is, neither can tell when revenge ends and desire begins. Between them stand a brother who may not be dead, a club poisoned by betrayal, and a bombing whose real target may have been Vivian herself. As the past closes in, Niko and Vivian must decide whether trust can survive the lies that brought them together. Their attraction may be the one thing neither can control—and the one thing their enemies can use to kill them both.
