Braveness Symbol

Nach fünf Jahren Ehe mit Dante Moretti, dem Don des Chicago Outfit, wusste die gesamte Unterwelt, dass er mich mehr liebte als sein eigenes Leben. Er hatte sich eine Geige tätowieren lassen – für mich – direkt neben seinem Familienwappen. Ein Symbol der Treue, das niemals ausgelöscht werden konnte. Bis ich das Foto von seiner Geliebten bekam. Eine Barkeeperin, nackt in seinen Armen ausgestreckt, ihre Haut gezeichnet von den dunklen Spuren von hartem Sex. Sie hatte ihren Namen direkt neben die Geige gekritzelt, die er sich für mich hatte stechen lassen. Und mein Mann hatte es zugelassen. „Dante sagt, nur wenn er in mir ist, fühlt er sich noch wie ein Mann. Du kannst ihn doch gar nicht mehr erregen, oder, süße Alessia? Vielleicht ist es an der Zeit, beiseitezutreten.“ Ich antwortete nicht. Ich tätigte nur einen einzigen Anruf. „Ich brauche eine neue Identität. Und ein Flugticket – raus hier.“

He should have been satisfied. Lucas had dismantled the Montage Empire, reduced its legacy to ash. Arabella Montage had nothing left: no power, no family, no future. Just her name and a heartbeat he hadn’t yet taken. But when he saw her on that auction stage, trembling under harsh lights, something inside him shifted. She was being sold like livestock. A girl once untouchable, now displayed for the highest bidder. He was the architect of her ruin. And still... he bought her. She was the last remaining piece of the empire he had destroyed. And he needed to possess it. To possess her. To own the symbol of everything he had conquered. To fill the aching void that victory hadn't satisfied. She used to be a free bird. Until he clipped her wings. Now, he would remake her. Mold her. Give her purpose again, just so he could tear it all away. Break her. Destroy her, all over again. He didn’t want her dead. Anything was acceptable, as long as her heart kept beating. To her, he’s just another powerful man playing God. But one thing becomes terrifyingly clear: Lucas will keep her heart beating, just so he can be the one to crush it. Again and again

Princess Seraphine was raised to rule — now she lives collared as the King’s Slave. Taken by Draven, the merciless king of Korvath, Seraphine becomes the living symbol of vengeance for the crimes of her father. In a palace built on scars and blood, she must survive cruelty, humiliation, and enemies who want her broken or dead. Draven is no savior. Once a slave himself, he rules with iron control, haunted by what was done to him — including a secret wound inflicted by Seraphine’s father that ensured he could never father a child. Love has no place in his plans, especially not for the daughter of his enemy. But the palace hides dangerous truths. Maela, the king’s oldest maid, watches in silence while her daughter Renya — damaged beyond speech by the former king’s cruelty — carries fragments of a prophecy that could change everything. Briella, Seraphine’s former maid, knows a secret about the princess that neither Draven nor Korvath knows — a truth that could shatter hatred or ignite war anew. As desire turns into obsession and vengeance blurs into something far more dangerous, Seraphine finds herself falling for the very man who owns her — while those closest to the king plot her death. In a kingdom where power is taken, bodies are used, and love is forbidden, survival may demand a price greater than chains.
