Bianca Moretti is a princess in a world of monsters. As the daughter of the city’s most ruthless Mafia Don, she has lived her life behind bulletproof glass and iron gates. But when her father's empire falters, he pays his greatest debt with the only currency he has left, her. Sold into a forced marriage to Silas Vane, a cold, calculating billionaire. Silas Vane doesn't want a wife, he wants retribution. To the world, he is a corporate titan. To the North Ridge, he is the Alpha of the Syndicate, a pack of wolves that has been hunted by the Morettis for generations. Silas takes Bianca not for her beauty, but to break her. He intends to use her as a pawn to dismantle her father’s legacy, piece by bloody piece. He hates her for the blood in her veins and the name she carries. But the Vane estate is a place of dark secrets and ancient hungers. Locked away in a fortress surrounded by Silas’s predatory "brothers," Bianca realizes she is in the middle of a war she never asked for. As she uncovers the horrific truth behind the scars on Silas’s back, her terror begins to turn into something far more dangerous, empathy. When a common enemy rises to wipe out both the Mafia and the Syndicate, the lines between predator and prey blur. Silas must decide if the woman he swore to destroy is actually the mate he was born to protect. In a world where loyalty is written in blood and love is a death sentence, can two enemies heal the scars of the past, or will the Syndicate’s hunger consume them both?
