He's my enemy. My obsession. The only man who makes me crave a crown built on blood.

I came to Palermo for answers. For revenge. For my brother's ghost.
Not to end up trapped in his empire of smoke and steel.

He's the scarred king of the underworld—
Luca Bellanti.
Golden eyes that strip me bare, a voice that makes sin sound sacred, and a touch that brands me as his.

He doesn't ask. He takes.
And every time he drags me close, I forget the vow I swore to never kneel.

He touches me like I already belong to him.
Kisses me like he owns my soul.
And when he finally claims me, I burn.

But Vincent Bennett wants war.
Blood will spill. Loyalties will shatter.

And I'm the queen he'll destroy a city to keep...
Even if it means destroying me.
