LOGINDr. Elena Russo’s life shatters when her father is assassinated and she discovers he was a mafia Don. As the last Russo heir, she must claim her father’s throne or watch three hundred people die. But the Five Families won’t accept an inexperienced woman, and they’re already attacking. Damien Cross, a ruthless rival underboss, offers a deal: marry him in a contract alliance and merge their territories, or lose everything. With enemies closing in and forty-eight hours to decide, Elena signs her life away to a dangerous stranger. Their marriage is warfare. Every negotiation tests loyalty, every touch sparks unwanted desire. As Elena transforms from doctor to Donna, learning to kill alongside Damien, the hatred between them ignites into something far more dangerous. In the mafia, love is the deadliest weapon, and trust might get them both killed. Tags: Mafia, CEO, Dominant, Contract Marriage, Betrayal, Hate to Love
View MoreThe cartel struck back within forty eight hours of Sofia’s rescue, and the response was vicious and carefully planned in a way that made it clear they had been preparing for this outcome. Five family owned businesses were attacked at the same time across the city, hit with firebombs and drive by shootings, and by sunrise Elena was staring at casualty reports that made her chest feel tight. Twelve soldiers were dead, twenty more were injured, and the damage to property ran into the millions and would take months to fix.Damien stayed with Sofia at a safe house, making sure she was getting care for the trauma she had endured, while Elena worked alongside Marco to manage the response. She tried not to focus on the fact that she was eighteen weeks pregnant and carrying the weight of decisions that could cost lives. Her doctor had already warned her that her blood pressure was too high and that stress needed to be reduced, but cutting back meant leaving people exposed, and that was not som
The cleanup after the warehouse battle took hours. Bodies were removed one by one. Evidence was wiped away before the FBI could start asking questions. Elena oversaw everything. She forced herself not to think about being pregnant or about the firefight she had just survived. Damien stayed close, telling her to leave and let Marco handle it. Elena refused. The other bosses needed to see she would not hide behind guards when things became dangerous.Agent Torres arrived before the cleanup was finished. Her expression showed she already knew what had happened, despite the cleaned version being prepared. She walked through the warehouse, studying bullet holes and blood stains that had not been fully erased. When she returned to Elena, she said the place looked like a war zone and demanded an explanation that made sense.Elena told her about the Bratva plan to kill the commission and about the trap they had set. Torres said it sounded like vigilante justice and reminded her it was not par
The first strike against the Bratva came three days later. It happened at a warehouse they were using for human trafficking. Elena went in with the assault team because she needed to see the truth for herself. She needed to understand the enemy she was fighting. What she saw made her feel sick. Even after everything she had already lived through, this was worse. Dozens of women were locked inside shipping containers. The signs of abuse were everywhere. Elena knew the images would follow her for the rest of her life.They freed the women and burned the warehouse until nothing was left. The Bratva guards running the operation were killed. Elena felt no regret for them. Some people did not deserve mercy. Damien had argued that she should stay behind and let his men handle it. Elena refused. She needed to see the damage herself. She needed a reason to accept what she was becoming.The second strike targeted a weapons cache Marco’s people had found in Queens. They took everything they coul
The search for information about the unknown new player lasted three long weeks. It led to very little that could be confirmed. That made Elena angrier each day. Someone was moving freely through Russo territory. They were bold and careless. Yet they left no clear sign of who they were or where they came from.Marco’s men reported the same pattern over and over. Businesses were being visited by well dressed men. They spoke with accents that sounded Eastern European. They offered protection services. These were the same services the families had controlled for years.Damien heard similar reports from Cross territory. His sources added something worse. These men seemed to have endless money. They also showed no fear of violence when talk failed. Two business owners refused the offers. Within days, their shops were burned to the ground. Another man disappeared without warning. His family was left terrified and refused to speak to anyone, including the police.Elena called another commiss
