The King’s Wrong Captive
He stole the wrong girl.
Or maybe… she chose the right king.
Dante Valenti rules his empire with cold precision and a reputation soaked in blood. No one crosses him. No one deceives him. And no one escapes him.
So when he kidnaps a woman from the Moretti estate—a trembling little princess meant to be leverage—he expects fear.
Instead, the woman chained in his basement looks him dead in the eyes…
and smiles.
Aria Moretti has spent years hiding behind silk dresses and a porcelain mask, pretending to be the quiet, obedient daughter of the Moretti crime family. But beneath the pretty facade lies a secret no one suspects:
She is the Moretti’s most lethal weapon.
A phantom.
A blade disguised as a flower.
And she walked willingly into the lion’s den for one reason—
to kill Dante Valenti.
Her mission is simple:
Get captured.
Get close.
Get his trust.
End the king.
But nothing about Dante is simple.
The moment he discovers who she truly is, he doesn’t kill her.
He claims her.
"You came to kill me, little killer... but every king needs a queen.”
Now, Aria is caught in a deadly dance between loyalty and desire, betrayal and obsession. Dante matches her darkness note for note—twisted, brilliant, and devastatingly irresistible. He should be her target.
Instead, he’s becoming her temptation.
And the deeper she falls, the clearer the truth becomes:
She isn’t the only weapon in this war.
Dante has claws of his own—
and he’s willing to use every one of them to keep her.
