Cruel Devotion

He was supposed to break her. He never expected she'd unravel him. Cold. Calculating. Dangerous. Franco lives for vengeance. After witnessing his parents' brutal murder, he built his empire on blood and silence-vowing to destroy the Giordano family, one move at a time. Step one: marry Caterine, the innocent daughter of his greatest enemy. She was meant to be a pawn in his ruthless game. But Caterine isn't the fragile doll Franco expected.
Beneath her soft beauty lies steel-and a fire that threatens to burn through every wall he's built. Thrown into a forced marriage with a man she should fear, Caterine refuses to bow. She's determined to protect her heart, even as desire blurs the line between hate and obsession. As secrets unravel and loyalties shatter, passion turns toxic, and love becomes a weapon. In a world ruled by power, one misstep could destroy them both.
