Dante Crescendo

“I was supposed to marry a prince. Instead, I was claimed by the devil.” Isabella Russo was raised to be a bride, obedient, graceful, and prepared to seal the most powerful alliance between two mafia dynasties. Her destiny was written: marry Angelo Moretti, the beloved heir to the Moretti empire, and secure peace between bloodlines. But on the morning of her wedding, Angelo is found dead. And standing in his place at the altar, with ice in his veins and hell in his eyes, is Dante Moretti, the ruthless, cold-blooded bastard brother who was never meant to inherit anything… except perhaps her. With one whispered vow and a signature on a contract forged in death, Isabella becomes his wife. But Dante didn’t just inherit a bride. He inherited a problem. Angelo’s death wasn’t an accident. It was a message. And Isabella, caught in a web of lies, betrayal, and violence, holds the key to secrets that could destroy the entire Moretti family. As tensions between rival families rise and enemies close in, Dante will do whatever it takes to protect what’s his. Even if it means breaking her. Even if it means unraveling her. Even if it means falling for the one woman he was never supposed to touch.

Yo no era nadie, pero por tres años estuve enamorada de Dante, el heredero de la familia Blackwood, el apellido más importante de la mafia en Chicago. El día que supe que estaba embarazada, me sentí muy feliz. Me moría de ganas de darle la noticia. Pero entonces escuché a su hermano gemelo, Marco, preguntarle: —Hermano, ¿cuándo piensas decirle a Rose que yo me hacía pasar por ti cada una de esas noches en la cama? Dante habló con una dureza que nunca le había escuchado. —En una semana. En nuestra boda. Voy a revelar todo y luego le pediré matrimonio a Isabella. Isabella. La niña rica que siempre me hace la vida imposible. Así que todo esto era una simple venganza por su adorada Isabella. Pero lo que Dante no sabía era que esa boda que planeó con tanto esmero se quedaría sin novia.

Sa mundo ng matataas na lipunan, si Elena Dela Vega ay isang mahalagang piraso lamang sa laro ng kapangyarihan. Nakatakdang ikasal sa mapagmataas na si Julian Monteverde upang pagbuklurin ang dalawang higanteng imperyo, ang buhay ni Elena ay isang gintong kulungan—hanggang sa gabing nagtagpo ang kanilang mga landas ni Dante Valez. Si Dante, na kilala sa underworld bilang ang "Shadow," ay isang mersenaryong binuo ng galit at mga pilat ng nakaraan. Ang kanilang engkwentro ay hindi lamang isang pagkakataon, kundi ang simula ng isang marahas na obsesyong babago sa kanilang tadhana. Marahas na kinuha ni Dante si Elena bago ang kasal, hindi upang iligtas, kundi upang angkinin. Sa kuta ng Shadow, naranasan ni Elena ang bagsik at init ng isang lalaking hindi kumikilala sa batas. Doon, ang takot ni Elena ay unti-unting naging isang masidhing pagnanasa na hindi niya matakasan.

Isidora Moretti always appeared to be a chess player, overseeing her family’s massive enterprise and grappling with the city’s menacing mafia clans. Her father orders her to marry the Vescari heir, and she discovers that theirs is not romance that would involve love-it is of power and obedience. Declining could be her last word so she thinks of an escape-engagement, a lie she is betting would work. She teams up with Dante Romano,the boy who beats her every time in school. He is good looking, cold, smart and has chased the same deal she wants. He often mocks her stubborn ways and never offers real help. Still, he oddly agrees to act as her fiancé. The agreement sees only looks, no real feeling involved. It may mean just a clever contract. Business agreement looks clean, no feelings. But Dante seizes Isidora at the engagement party and kisses her in front of the city. Everything becomes upside down. Rivalry and obsession — everything seems to blur. Others soon witness Isidora as Dante’s Achilles’ heel. In another world, weakness is a weapon. Maybe they both have this tilt, not just one side. With threats growing closer-in business offices ,back alleys, and mob hits, both find they need to stand up together. As they fight, they come closer and closer, and each threat reduces the boundaries they’ve constructed between them on their feelings. As danger narrows in on Isidora, Dante’s left to contemplate the sacrifices he’ll make just to keep her safe. He’ll do anything he can to protect her, to make her his, even if it’s damaging everything in his path. In the end, the promises they’ve made, no matter how unserious, appear to be the only thing they can reasonably believe.

"Tell me, Barbie…" Dante’s voice was a dark caress, low and sinful as he caged me against the wall. His fingers trailed down my neck, slow and teasing, making my breath hitch. "Are you trying to run from us… or are you waiting for one of us to catch you?" I hated how my body reacted, how warmth curled between my thighs despite the warning bells in my mind. "You’re trembling," Dante murmured, his lips brushing the sensitive skin of my neck. Knox chuckled, his grip tightening. "You’re so soft, Little Moon. So easy to tease. Tell me…" His voice dipped lower, "Are you shaking because you’re afraid… or because you’re turned on?" A small gasp escaped before I could stop it. Adonis’s gaze darkened, his thumb dragging over my bottom lip. "We should punish her for trying to leave," he mused. Dante’s smirk was pure sin. "Oh, I have so many ideas." "We could tie her up," Knox added casually, fingers tracing slow, lazy circles against my hip. "Make her beg for mercy." Three ruthless Alphas. Her step-uncles. Her fated mates. In her past life, Adonis, Knox, and Dante Logan hated her—tormented her, rejected her, and cast her aside. She died knowing they had never loved her. But fate has given her a second chance. Now, she’s running before they realize the truth—that she is their mate. Because once the Logan Brothers find out? They’ll never let her go.
