Elira Aveline once belonged to a powerful mafia family—until her beloved brother, Adrian, was killed in a car explosion ten years ago. That tragedy shattered her life, destroyed her family’s legacy, and left her with only one name to blame: Leonardo Moretti. Now, with her father drowning in debt and their enemies closing in, Elira is forced into an arranged marriage with none other than Leonardo—the cold, calculating heir to the Moretti mafia empire. To everyone else, it’s a peace offering. To Elira, it’s the perfect opportunity for revenge. She plans to destroy Leonardo from within—earn his trust, find his weaknesses, and uncover the truth behind Adrian’s death. But Leonardo isn’t the monster she imagined. He’s cold, yes. Controlling, absolutely. But also guarded, haunted, and hiding wounds of his own. And he knows more about the past than he’s letting on. As Elira is pulled deeper into his world of power, violence, and obsession, the lines between vengeance and desire begin to blur. Every stolen glance, every dangerous touch chips away at her resolve—until she’s no longer sure whether she wants to kill him... or kiss him. But falling in love with a man who might have murdered her brother? That could be the deadliest mistake of all.
