Erico Moretti has always been a loyal enforcer for the most ruthless mafia family in Italy. But when his boss, the mafia king Vincenzo, tasks him with bringing down rival mafia boss Antonio Romano, he’s given a dangerous mission: infiltrate the Romano empire as Bianca Romano’s bodyguard. Bianca, the sheltered yet fiercely independent daughter of Antonio, is the key to unraveling her father’s secrets. At first, Erico sees Bianca as nothing more than a pawn in his deadly game. She’s sharp, confident, and far more perceptive than he expected—qualities that make his job even harder. But when a sudden threat forces them into a marriage of convenience to protect her from her father’s enemies, Erico finds himself tangled in a web of deceit, loyalty, and blood. But in the world of crime and betrayal, no one is safe, and when secrets are exposed, their lives will hang by a thread. Will Erico choose vengeance, or will Bianca be the one to teach him that loyalty and love are not always at odds?

Set against the backdrop of Rome’s elite underworld, Blood & Dynasty follows Leonardo and Xena DeMarcus, two rulers who build an empire through calculated strategy, ruthless ambition, and an unbreakable partnership. From the moment they take control of Rome’s power structure, they face relentless opposition—from whispered betrayals to direct threats, including the relentless pursuit of their downfall by Elena Vasquez and later Dominic Renaud, a Geneva-based strategist who attempts to dismantle their empire from afar. Through violence, precision, and unwavering control, Leonardo and Xena eliminate every obstacle, ensuring Rome bends to their reign and never rises against them again. But their legacy is more than just dominance—it is permanence, and that permanence is solidified through the birth of their heir, Orion DeMarcus. Faced with the impossible balance between war and family, they fortify their estate, strengthen their dynasty, and raise Orion to be a ruler as fierce and tactical as they are, ensuring the DeMarcus name will never fade. As years pass, Orion rises, taking command of the empire, expanding beyond his parents’ reign, proving that everything Leonardo and Xena built was meant to last long beyond their rule. And in the final reflection, as Xena looks back on their time together, she understands one undeniable truth: Power may shift. Empires may evolve. But the love between her and Leonardo—the fire that shaped their dynasty—will never burn out.

The day Caleb brought the pup he had with a hidden Omega in the pack and gave it to me as a “birthday gift”—that was the day everything ended between us. He stood before the entire pack, holding the newborn in his arms, voice cold and cutting. “Is this pup enough to make you give up on me?” Right then, I finally understood. There would never be a real Mate Bond between us. I had followed him with my heart for seven years. And for the first time—I let go. I looked down at the pup in my arms. He didn’t spare it a glance. Instead, he reached out, brushed my hair with that same unbearable gentleness. “Quinn, whoever you want to bond with next, whatever Alpha you choose—I’ll help you win him.” Later, I was marked and bred by another Alpha—Ethan. Stronger. Steadier. He claimed me under the full moon, and together we completed our Fated Mate Bond. The pack gathered for our Mate Bond Ceremony. The moon hung high. The bond was sealed. Everything was as the Moon Goddess had destined. Until Caleb crashed through the ceremonial boundary, his eyes burning red, his wolf barely restrained. “You’re mine, Quinn! I don’t care if all the packs accept you and Ethan— I won’t let another Alpha have what belongs to me.”
