Publisher's Synopsis
The deeper the love, the deadlier the war.
In the aftermath of devastating betrayal, love doesn't just hurt-it detonates.
Bankston DeLuca never imagined falling deeply for the woman he once despised. Yet, as enemies tighten their deadly grip and trusted loyalties fray at the seams, the woman who became his sanctuary now threatens to be his undoing. Aurmoni is no longer just fighting for her life-she's battling for her sanity, her future, and an unsettling truth she may not be prepared to confront. Each buried secret and uncovered lie pulls her deeper into the turmoil, making her question the man she risked everything to love. Is surviving him worth the price she'll inevitably pay?
Meanwhile, Giovanni DeLuca, the legendary Mafia boss, spirals dangerously out of control. The loss of the only person capable of softening his ruthless nature sends him plunging into an abyss of darkness so profound, even his own family isn't safe. As the brutal conflict with the Torres Cartel escalates to a deadly climax, the battle raging inside Giovanni proves even more lethal than the enemies outside.
One chilling reality is crystal clear: Nothing will ever be the same.
