Her father didn’t raise a daughter—he forged a weapon. Giada grew up without love or mercy, molded by discipline and the cold weight of a gun in her small hands. At six, she watched her mother die in a white dress that bloomed red, the killer’s face burned into her memory like a curse. That night she swore an oath over her mother’s body: whoever did this would pay. Every scar became a lesson in blood, every name in her ledger a ghost she vowed to bury.‎‎But fate is cruel. Now Giada finds herself falling for the brother of her mother’s killer—the one man who makes her feel human again, even though his blood is the same she swore to spill. As stolen glances and forbidden touches blur the line between justice and betrayal, she must choose: carry out her vengeance and destroy the only person who sees past the monster, or let her mother’s killer walk free to protect the man she can’t stop wanting. In her world, love isn’t just dangerous. It’s the deadliest sin of all.
