He ruins her family at dusk and marries her by midnight. The kiss he gives at the altar isn't a promise-it's a sentence. Alessia Romano says "I do" to survive the Valenti crown, but surrender isn't in her blood. Dante Valenti-mafia king, beautiful and merciless-claims her as his trophy and his obsession, locking her inside a fortress of velvet and guns. Every room is a rule. Every touch is a warning.
Every breath reminds her she is the wife of the man who ended her old life and owns her new one. Freedom comes as a devil's bargain: no bars, no exits, and a husband who studies her like a weapon he intends to keep. Outside, enemies circle; inside, secrets burn-of a brother buried, a kingdom cracking, and a queen who refuses to kneel. Desire coils with danger until the line between hate and hunger snaps, and Alessia must choose: bend to the king, or set his empire on fire.
Ruthless Devotion is a dark, high-heat mafia romance about power, possession, and a captive bride who would rather start a war than lose herself. Expect razor-edged tension, sinful chemistry, and a heroine who learns the cost of defiance-and the price of being wanted by a monster.
