Of building an empire. Of fighting. Of just surviving. Of letting my heart beat for revenge.Only revenge.Eight years of not really living at all.While I was living half a life, I didn’t realize all that was being built up around me.A home. A family. A place to belong.Ways to soothe my broken edges until I feel almost whole again.Something to lose. Something to miss. Something to protect.I don’t wanna die anymore. But I’ll never give up my revenge.Good thing it’s not just me seeking vengeance anymore.Lines are drawn. Moves are made.New alliances are formed while old ones burn to the ground.We are done holding back, even if it mean the streets of St Graves are stained red.Let’s go to war.

    A mafia prince. A brewing war that could destroy two families.My father betrayed the Costellos.Now, I’m the one who will pay for his sins.I’ve become a pawn in the game between the warning families.And Vincent Costello is determined to use me any way he sits fit.He takes me in the dead of night, holding me against my will despite my best efforts to break free.The cold, ruthless, intelligent Costello prince will protect his father’s kingdom at any cost—no matter what it does to me.Only he’s so much more than those things.Charming. Charismatic. Irresistible.I find myself torn between family ties and love.And when I learn I’m carrying Vincent’s child, it changes everything.The Petrovas won’t let my abduction go unanswered.This war will cross oceans and blur lines we thought wouldn’t be crossed.People I love will be caught in the cross-fire.Bullets will fly.Hearts will be broken.A new life will be born—one that will could destroy both families—and us—in the process.
