Empire of Sins: An Enemies to Lovers Dark Mafia Romance

Five years ago, I bled out on a cold marble floor and died. Or so the world thought. The Rossi family was massacred in a single night. I shed my name, my inheritance, and my bloodline to become a ghost. A quiet, invisible art restorer hiding in a dusty Chicago antique shop. I swore I would never step foot inside the syndicate again. But Dante Cavallaro doesn't believe in ghosts. He hunts them. They call him the Reaper of Chicago. He is the newly ascended Don of the Cavallaro Syndicate-ruthless, fiercely guarded, and terrifyingly powerful. To crush a rebellion threatening his borders, he needs the ultimate pawn to legitimize his absolute rule: the last breathing Rossi heir. He tracks me down and issues a freezing ultimatum: Marry him and become his Donna, or watch the innocent people I care about be slowly carved to pieces. I am dragged back into the lion's den, forced to wear his heavy diamond and share a single bed with a monster who doesn't sleep. I vowed to be his nightmare. But the agonizing, electric tension between us is a trap I didn't see coming. As assassination attempts ravage his estate and traitors circle closer, the fake vows holding us together violently blur into a terrifying, possessive reality. Dante is realizing his captive bride isn't a pawn. She's a queen. And heaven help the men who try to take her from him.
