To save her brother, Millicent Romano agreed to marry the one man her heart never forgot, Angelo De Angelis.
But he isn’t the boy she once knew. He’s a Don now. A powerful and ruthless Don who was hell-bent on revenge.
To Angelo, she’s nothing more than a pawn, poisoned gift from an enemy empire. The wedding was never about love… it was about war.
But desire doesn’t play by the rules of vengeance, and neither does the past they share.
As vengeance dives deep, obsession dives ten times deeper.
As secrets unravel, there's only one question left….
When love is laced with blood, someone's bound to bleed. In a world where loyalty kills faster than bullets.... Who will fall first?
