Dangerous Deception

I watched him from across the church, the man who put a bullet in my fiancé's head. Now my father expects me to say "I do" to the monster. Raffaele Varricchio isn’t a husband; he's a punishment. Twice my age, ruthless mafia king, the Devil of Little Italy. My wedding night gift? A prison of marble and gold. His wedding night prize? A bride plotting his demise. My father sold me to save his empire. Raffaele bought me—to break me. To claim every inch of my body, until there’s nothing left but surrender. "You'll learn to love me, Adelina," he whispers against my neck. What he doesn't know is I'm already skilled at playing deadly games. One reckless night of rebellion turns into a nightmare when I wake up drugged and bound. But it's not my captors I should fear. It's the rage in Raffaele's eyes when he finds me. Bodies drop. Blood spills. And something dangerous ignites between us. His touch burns away my hatred. His protection makes me question everything I believed. His bed becomes my confession booth, where sin feels like salvation. Then the pregnancy test changes everything. Two pink lines. One devastating secret. A ticking time bomb. "Your father is the one who murdered Carlos," Raffaele reveals, shattering my world. Before I can process the betrayal, I'm kidnapped by my own blood. My father's ultimatum is my baby's life for Raffaele's empire. Now the man I once swore to destroy is hunting through hell to save us both. And I'm praying the Devil arrives in time.
