Seraphina Vale was supposed to be dead. She returns to Rome to destroy the mafia family that took everything from her—and the enforcer she once loved.

Massimo De Luca was the last man she saw before her old life vanished in blood and betrayal. Now Seraphina is back with a false name, a loaded gun, and one purpose: get close enough to fracture the De Luca syndicate from the inside and make Massimo pay for everything she lost.

But Massimo is still brutal, dangerous, and impossible to read. He knows exactly how lethal Seraphina has become. He also knows every weakness she tried to bury. The closer she gets to ruining him, the harder it becomes to separate hatred from hunger—and the more dangerous the unanswered questions between them become.

As rival crime families close ranks and old loyalties begin to crack, Seraphina's revenge ignites a wider underworld war. Every secret she uncovers threatens her plan. Every encounter with Massimo drags the past into the present. And every step toward vengeance forces her to decide how much of herself she is willing to sacrifice to reclaim her name, her power, and her future.

Because Massimo may be the man she can never forgive.

He may also be the only man dangerous enough to stand beside her when everything burns.
