I was born into a world of power, blood, and betrayal, but I never wanted any part of it.
My father, a ruthless man with dangerous allies, has always surrounded himself with men like him, arrogant, lethal, and completely unbearable. After leaving behind my perfect life in LA, I found myself trapped in a monotonous cycle, suffocating under the weight of a life I never chose. Days blurred together in a haze of forced smiles and unwanted expectations.
Then, Dante arrived.
A storm in a tailored suit, crushing the fragile order I’d built for myself. He walks into my home like he owns it. Every inch of him oozes arrogance, like he knows exactly how to get under my skin. I've heard the stories about him. A man carved from vengeance, carrying the weight of a past soaked in blood. He’s reckless, dangerous, annoying as hell, and far too charming for his own good.
I should hate him. I do hate him. But hating Dante is like playing with fire—you think you’re in control, until you’re the one burning.
DANTE
I came back for blood.
For vengeance, for the empire they stole, for the ghosts that still whisper my name in the dark. I spent five years sharpening my teeth, becoming something worse than the man they tried to bury.
I didn’t return for distractions. But then there’s her.
Elizabeth. A spoiled, sharp-mouthed princess with too much fire in her eyes and too little fear in her bones. She doesn’t cower. Doesn’t flinch. She looks at me like I’m the enemy, like she knows exactly what I am.
And still, she steps closer.
She fights me at every turn. Hates me with every breath. But the way her pulse jumps when I get too close, the way her lips part when she thinks I might touch her, it tells me everything I need to know. She’s reckless. And she doesn’t realize that in this world, a woman like her, proud, untamed, impossible, doesn’t walk away unscathed.
She thinks she’s untouchable.
I think she’s mine.
