Early Reviewers

She was my father's shadow. His secret. The one woman I was never supposed to want.

Mia

I returned to the Salvatore villa for a funeral, not a reunion. My father is dead, his empire is crumbling, and the woman who made herself indispensable in a house that was supposed to be mine is still haunting these halls. Matelda is everything I was taught to hate: beautiful, calculating, and far too comfortable in a life she was never entitled to. I came to reclaim my legacy and drive her out. I didn't expect the heat between us to be more dangerous than the war outside our gates.

Matelda

I've spent years building a life out of marble and secrets. I survived the Salvatore men by becoming untouchable -- but I wasn't prepared for Mia. She has her father's eyes and a fury that threatens to burn down everything I've sacrificed to protect. In this world, love is a liability and desire is a death sentence. But as the shadows close in, the girl I should be pushing away is the only one standing between me and the grave. Some wars are fought with guns. Some are fought in silence. The most dangerous ones are fought in the space between hate and love.
