I was born to serve the Irish empire.
Steel in my spine. Blood on my hands.
I don’t break. I don’t bend.

But the empire is rotting.
Shipments vanish. Allies fall silent.
And every trail leads me straight into Italian territory.

That’s when I meet him—
a masked stranger at their decadent ball.
One night. One sin. One fire I should have buried.

But fate isn’t merciful.
Because when I see him again,
he isn’t just my enemy—
he’s Bruno Del Prete.
The disgraced Italian heir.
Ruthless. Arrogant. Addictive.

The one man who makes me burn when I should hate him.

We fight side by side.
We bleed for the same cause.
And somewhere between survival and betrayal,
I start to crave him more than power itself.

But trust is a luxury I can’t afford.
And when he hands me to the wolves,
when his lies cut deeper than any blade,
I swear I’ll never forgive him.

Yet when the truth shatters everything—
when my empire wants me dead,
and his touch is the only thing keeping me alive—
I learn the cruelest secret of

The man who ruined me is also the father of my child.
