DANTE
I dedicated my life to bringing down my brother’s criminal empire, sacrificing everything to expose the corruption running through my family name. The last thing I expected was to fall for Lark Gregory—the granddaughter of a woman whose family mine had destroyed generations ago. But from the moment I saw her at that coffee shop, I knew she was different. Now, as threats close in from all sides and long-buried secrets surface, I’ll do whatever it takes to protect her. Even if it means facing my own brother and uncovering truths that could destroy us all.

LARK
I was raised on stories of how the Castellanos destroyed my family’s legacy. The last person I should trust is Alessandro Castellano—no matter how much he claims to be different from his criminal family. But as danger circles closer and my grandmother’s closely guarded secrets begin to unravel, I find myself turning to the one man I was taught to hate. Now, with both our mothers’ disappearances somehow connected and old vendettas threatening to tear us apart, I have to decide if love really can overcome generations of hatred.
