A broken mafia princess with everything to hide.
A ruthless protector with everything to lose.
And a sadistic husband who won’t stop until he gets his revenge.
Alexia
To the outside world, I was the perfect mafia princess—beautiful, privileged, and untouchable. But fairy tales don’t exist in our world. On my wedding night, I discovered the true face of evil. Trapped in a violent, loveless marriage to Igor, a Bratva kingpin, I’ve endured horrors that would shatter most.
Now, I’ve uncovered a secret so devastating that Igor will kill anyone to keep me silent—even my daughter. My only hope lies in Dave, the one man who ever truly cared for me. He’s as dangerous as the world I escaped, but when I begged him for help, he didn’t hesitate.
Now, we’re locked in a deadly game of survival, where every move risks our lives. And even though I swore I’d never trust a man again, my heart isn’t listening.
Dave
I’ve always been loyal to my family—the Irish Brotherhood—and the Syndicate we’ve built. But Alexia has always been my one weakness, my first love. When she chose to marry Igor, the pain and betrayal cut me too deep. So, I buried my feelings and hardened my heart.
Until the day she called, begging for my help.
Now, I’ve pulled her from her nightmare, but it’s not over. Protecting Alexia means going to war with Igor, the cruelest man I’ve ever faced. The deeper I go, the more I realize that saving her isn’t enough. I want her. And I’m willing to fight for her heart just as fiercely as I’ll fight to keep her alive.
But in this deadly game of power and betrayal, no one walks away unscathed. Igor won’t stop until he tears us apart, and the secrets Alexia is keeping might destroy us both.
