Publisher's Synopsis
In a world where power is everything and love is a weakness, Isabella "Izzy" Romano has learned to survive by keeping her head down and her heart closed. As the estranged daughter of a feared mafia boss, she's spent years trying to escape the shadow of her family's name. But when her father is assassinated, Izzy is thrust back into the dark underworld she thought she'd left behind.
Enter Luca DeLuca, her father's most loyal lieutenant-a cold, calculating man who's risen to power by being ruthless and untouchable. Tasked with protecting Izzy and ensuring her loyalty to the family, Luca has no patience for her defiance. But beneath his hardened exterior, he's drawn to her fire and resilience in ways he can't ignore.
As tensions rise and enemies close in, Izzy and Luca are forced to work together, their lives intertwined by danger and desire. What begins as a reluctant partnership evolves into an intense, forbidden connection neither of them can control. For Luca, Izzy becomes more than a responsibility-she becomes his obsession. For Izzy, Luca becomes the one person she can't resist, even as she questions if she can trust him.
But in the mafia, love is dangerous, and claiming someone as your own comes with a deadly cost. As secrets unravel and alliances are tested, Luca and Izzy must decide whether their bond is strong enough to survive the brutal world they're bound to-or if the price of love is one they're willing to pay.
Mine is a dark, seductive romance filled with danger, passion, and betrayal. It's a story of power, possession, and two people fighting for their own version of freedom in a world where everything has a price.
