My name is Serena Blake, and I walked into Valente Holdings with a fake name, a hidden recorder, and one goal—steal the ledger that drowned my family and crack a mafia crown. 🥀
Adrian Valente was supposed to be the monster. Billionaire heir. Crime family prince. The man I’d ruin. Except the truth hit like a match: he was dismantling the syndicate from the inside while the city polished blood into profit. We were enemies on paper… and combustion in person. A museum gala blown apart, a safehouse storm where confessions turned to heat, and Swan Pier at dawn where love and betrayal finally collided. ��
I wanted revenge. He offered an exit. What we became was dangerous—desire that tasted like smoke and salt, a partnership born in crossfire, and a vow that chose outcomes over altars. This isn’t a fairy tale. It’s an honest ending: a shattered crown spent on doors that open. 🗝️
You’ll feel:
* Dark billionaire mafia romance energy—gritty, steamy, cinematic
* Knife-sharp banter, consent-clear spice, and brutal choices that cost
