Shadow King by Bella Ray

As the daughter of a mafia don, I was born into power and danger— but nothing could prepare me for him.

He was supposed to be my bodyguard. My father’s most trusted soldier.

A man carved from silence and shadows.

He wasn’t meant to look at me the way he did.

And I wasn’t meant to want him.

One night, everything changed.

One promise turned into a cage.

And I learned what it meant to be owned by the wrong man.

Then Raffael came for me.

He isn’t a savior.

He’s a killer—cold, ruthless, forged in blood.

He doesn’t protect to save.

He protects to possess.

Now I’m trapped between the man who controls me

and the man who would burn the world to set me free.

He says I belong to him.

He says he’ll never let me go.

And the terrifying part?

I believe him.

I should fear him.

I should hate him.

Instead, I crave the monster who was never meant to love me.
