My father owed a debt he could not pay. So, he paid with me. Olenna Rostova was raised in the violent, treacherous world of the syndicate, but she never expected to become collateral. Handed over in a rain slicked alley to clear her family's ruined ledgers, she prepares for a life of grueling captivity in the hands of the city's most feared predator. Instead, she is locked inside the opulent fortress of Zeno Bastianelli.
Known only as the phantom of the Camorra, Zeno is a ruthless shadow boss who rules the underworld with cold, calculating precision. He intended to keep Olenna as a defiant prize, a beautiful pawn to dismantle her father's failing empire. He never anticipated the brilliant, fearless woman who refuses to break. Olenna does not cower. She challenges his lieutenants. She reorganizes his chaotic operation.
She ignites a dangerous, consuming fire within the untouchable king. The velvet cage shatters when her father returns, demanding her treason in a plot to burn Zeno's empire to the ground. Surrounded by wolves and trapped in a deadly game of betrayal, Olenna must make a choice. She must choose loyalty to the bloodline that sold her, or surrender to the terrifying monster who would slaughter the world to keep her safe.
The Debt of Blood and Velvet is a slow burn, closed door dark mafia romance featuring a fiercely intelligent heroine, a fiercely possessive anti hero, and a guaranteed dark Happily Ever After.
