Married to My Enemy

They call me the Devil's daughter. He's about to find out why.When Dante Corsetti's father drops dead at my feet, everyone assumes I'm the perfect bride for the new Don — a peace offering wrapped in white lace. A gift from one Italian crime family to another, meant to end a decades-long blood feud and seal a dynasty.They're wrong.I'm not here to make peace. I'm here to destroy him.The ruthless billionaire mafia king thinks this forced marriage will unite our families and buy him loyalty. He thinks I'll be the obedient little wife who warms his bed and keeps her mouth shut. He thinks he knows exactly who I am.He has no idea I'm the one who pulled the trigger.Our wedding night? I tried to stab him. His response? He pinned me against the wall and whispered the filthiest promise I'd ever heard — then walked away, leaving me aching and furious and utterly off balance.Every day inside his fortress is a new battle between two enemies who were built to destroy each other. Every dinner a war of words. Every accidental touch an explosion waiting to happen. He's the morally grey man who commands a room with silence alone, whose dark eyes strip me bare even when I'm fully clothed, whose tattooed hands have no business making me feel anything except fury. And yet neither of us saw this coming — the slow burn that starts in hatred and ends somewhere neither of us has a map for.But hate burns just as hot as desire.And when I'm trapped beneath him — his control finally cracking, his Italian curses against my skin, every slow deliberate moment between us rewriting everything I thought I knew — I forget why I'm supposed to kill him. I forget everything except the way he makes me feel alive for the first time in years.Then I discover the truth.The real reason Dante forced me into this marriage. The secrets buried inside his locked drawers. And the enemy who has been moving both our families like chess pieces from the beginning — the one neither of us saw coming until it was almost too late. The one who turned two people with every reason to destroy each other into the only weapon capable of fighting back.Now I have a choice: pull the trigger and end him, or trust the monster I married and burn our enemies together.He's dangerous when he's quiet. I never needed saving. And the line between love and hate is just another lie we tell ourselves — until it isn't.Turns out the hardest war to win is the one you're fighting inside your own chest.This story is told from both sides. His silence. Her secrets. Two voices, one slow burn, and an ending that belongs entirely to them.
