Elena Rossi’s life was never meant to collide with the world of monsters.
A university student trying to build her own future, Elena has always believed she could escape the shadows surrounding her family. But when a dangerous secret threatens everything she loves, she is forced into an impossible bargain marriage to Adrian De Luca, the ruthless head of the De Luca crime syndicate.
Known as the Devil of New York, Adrian De Luca rules through fear, power, and blood. He does not believe in love, mercy, or weakness. To him, marriage is nothing more than a promise made for protection and power.
But Elena is not the obedient bride he expected.
Behind her gentle heart is a woman with courage, loyalty, and a strength that refuses to break. As enemies close in and hidden truths from their families begin to surface, the walls Adrian built around himself start to crumble.
Their marriage begins as a forced vow.
Their trust is earned through sacrifice.
And their love may become the one thing powerful enough to destroy the enemies who want them dead.
In a world where betrayal is written in blood, can two people bound by a cruel promise find a love worth fighting for?
