Jenny reeds
Five years ago, Vienna Castellano stopped living for herself.
At seventeen, she watched her family burn. The man who dragged her from the wreckage gave her someone to blame, then spent the next four years teaching her how to make them pay.
Sixteen names. Sixteen kills. One family: the Romanos.
Tonight, only Matteo Romano remains.
With her gun trained on him, Vienna expects fear. Instead, Matteo barely reacts. He tells her something that shakes the foundation of everything she believes: if she wanted him dead, she would have pulled the trigger already.
He's right. And she doesn't know why.
Then Matteo swears he never ordered the attack that destroyed her family. Worse, Vienna believes him. Someone turned a grieving girl into a weapon and pointed her at Matteo, one death at a time.
Now enemies who should want each other dead must work together to uncover the truth.
But Matteo doesn't share—not his city, his secrets, or her. Vienna refuses to belong to anyone after spending years controlled by another man.
When they find the person who trained her, the truth is worse than they imagined.
He smiles.
“You still don't understand. I didn't start this war. Your parents did.”
