Elena Voss was only supposed to clean up a set of books. Late nights, quiet numbers, the kind of work that paid the rent and let her keep her head down. Then the ledgers stopped making sense. Money moved through companies that barely existed, routed through a private port no public record would admit to. She kept digging because that was what she did, followed the trail until it ended. It ended with a man at her door at two in the morning. Dante Vossari does not introduce himself the way ordinary men do. He steps into her apartment like he already owns the air she breathes, tells her she has been looking at things that belong to his family, and gives her a choice that is not really a choice. Walk with him, or be carried. Useful, or dead. The Vossari family has controlled the city’s underworld for longer than anyone living can remember. They deal in money, influence, and blood. Dante is their sharpest weapon: cold, precise, and centuries past the point of softness. He was sent to contain the woman who found their secrets. He was not supposed to want her. Now Elena is inside their world, trapped between the ledgers that could destroy them and the man who has decided she belongs to him. Every night the line between protection and possession blurs. Every touch carries the weight of what he is and what he could take. Outside the estate walls, rivals are already moving. Inside, the family is watching. In the Vossari bloodline, nothing is free. And Dante Vossari never releases what he claims.
