Police Chief Elena Ward has spent her career hunting dangerous people. Vittoria Moretti may be the most dangerous woman she has ever met—and the one she can’t stop watching.
When a mysterious silver anchor connects a string of illegal shipments to Marisport’s most powerful circles, Elena’s investigation leads straight to Vittoria: elegant, untouchable, and rumored to rule the city’s criminal underworld.
Elena expects lies.
She doesn’t expect Vittoria to warn her that someone else is moving through the shadows.
Someone with access to Elena’s own department.
Someone willing to kill to keep the truth buried.
Forced into an uneasy alliance, the police chief and the mafia queen begin pulling at the same deadly thread. Every clue draws them deeper into corruption, betrayal, and a conspiracy neither woman can survive alone. And somewhere between threats, gunfire, and conversations sharp enough to cut, suspicion begins turning into something far more dangerous.
Because Elena still intends to bring Vittoria to justice.
Vittoria knows it.
And neither of them can deny what is growing between them.
A Dangerous Kind of Mercy is a dark sapphic slow-burn romance filled with forbidden attraction, enemies-to-lovers tension, crime, danger, morally gray choices, and two powerful women who were never supposed to trust each other—much less fall in love.
