Our Beautiful Betrayal.
“I always had three golden rules: don’t kill unless it’s necessary, don’t mess with human trafficking, and never touch my sister.” — Leonard Romano.
“I could ask for your permission, but I prefer asking for forgiveness… in hell, where we’ll next meet.” — Alexander Vicetti.
“Forbidden never felt this good.” — Hazel Romano.
Loyalty has rules.
Love breaks them.
I was never meant to exist in their world.
Kept at arm’s length from crime and bloodshed, labeled too soft for the shadows that ruled my family, I grew up as something sacred among monsters—protected, ignored, untouchable.
But darkness does not respect boundaries.
It whispered promises of freedom, danger, and devotion—everything I had been denied. And at the center of it all stood him.
The one man I was never supposed to want.
He was temptation.
The sin.
And touching him wouldn’t just shatter every rule that kept me safe.
It would damn us both.
