Synopsis

Alpha Male Enemies to Lovers Arranged Marriage Family Secrets Dark Mafia Romance Rival Families Hostage Treaty High Stakes

For seventy years, the Romano and Viti crime dynasties have drenched New York in blood. But when Romano heiress Isabella is targeted by masked assassins at a high-society masquerade, it is the lethal, cold-blooded Viti Capo—Alessandro 'The Raven' Viti—who saves her life. Bound by an ancient syndicate hostage treaty to stop an all-out turf war, Isabella enters Alessandro's fortress as a pawn of peace. In a world of deadly family betrayals, poisoned ledgers, and razor-sharp desire, the line between captor and protector vanishes into an all-consuming passion neither dynasty can control.

Chapter 1

The Blood Red Masquerade

The annual autumn masquerade gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art was New York high society’s most intoxicating spectacle—and its deadliest battleground.

Beneath the soaring glass ceiling of the Temple of Dendur, hundreds of the city’s elite mingled behind gilded Venetian masks, sipping vintage Dom Pérignon while string quartets played melancholic Vivaldi concertos. To the politicians, Wall Street titans, and foreign diplomats in attendance, the gala was a celebration of cultural philanthropy. But to the shadow aristocracy of the American underworld, it was neutral ground for a fragile, blood-soaked truce between the two ruling dynasties of the Eastern seaboard: the Romano crime syndicate and the Viti family.

Isabella Romano stood on the marble balcony overlooking the reflecting pool, her fingers curling around the stem of her champagne flute.

At twenty-two, Isabella was considered the crown jewel of the Romano empire. She was breathtakingly beautiful, with waist-length dark auburn curls, honey-caramel skin, and sharp, intelligent hazel eyes that missed nothing. Tonight, she wore a bespoke emerald silk backless gown that clung to every feminine curve of her body like liquid jade, complemented by a delicate silver mask encrusted with Swarovski crystals that veiled the upper half of her striking face.

Yet behind her polished, aristocratic poise, Isabella’s nerves were pulled taut as violin strings.

For seven decades, the Romanos and the Vitis had waged a merciless turf war that had stained the streets of Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Chicago in crimson. Her father, Roberto Romano—the aging Don of the Romano family—had attended tonight’s gala to finalize a boundary treaty with Don Lorenzo Viti. But thirty minutes ago, Roberto had suddenly taken ill, coughing violently and clutching his chest before being rushed out through the museum’s private freight elevators by his security detail.
