Charming Demon

He broke her heart once. Now he's her only chance at survival. At thirty-two, Alejandro never expected to bury his wife-or raise a son alone. As the ruthless leader of the Spanish Saravia mafia, he's feared across the empire. But behind the cold exterior lies a man shattered by grief, bound by a vow: never love again. Never let another woman suffer because of him. Abella was once promised to Alejandro.
A gifted pianist, raised by her grandmother after the tragic death of her parents, she dreamed of love, of safety-of a future. But on the eve of their engagement dinner, Alejandro humiliated her in front of the empire, choosing another bride without warning. Now, fate throws them back together. A devastating betrayal puts Abella and her younger sister in danger, and the only man powerful enough to protect them is the one who destroyed her.
With no one else to turn to, Abella is forced to make an unthinkable choice: trust the cold-hearted mobster who broke her. or risk losing everything. Enemies turned reluctant allies. Pain tangled with passion. But the closer they get, the harder it becomes to ignore the fire still burning between them. And behind Alejandro's icy mask, Abella starts to see the man he used to be-the man he still could be.
Can love survive where loyalty is a weapon and hearts are collateral?
