Shadow Of Loyalty. Shadow Of Loyalty, #1

Preview: Shadows of LoyaltyIn a city where power is currency and trust is a liability, love becomes the most dangerous game of all. Undercover FBI agent Alex Carter has spent years mastering the art of deception. But nothing could have prepared him for Francesca De Luca-a woman whose beauty hides a razor-sharp mind and a heart hardened by betrayal. As the enigmatic leader of one of New York's most notorious mafia families, Francesca rules with an iron fist and a code of loyalty that cannot be broken.
When Alex infiltrates her world under the guise of a disgraced enforcer seeking redemption, he knows the stakes are life and death. What he doesn't expect is the spark that ignites between them-a flame fueled by stolen glances, heated arguments, and moments of undeniable connection. With every secret he uncovers, his mission blurs further, forcing him to confront a truth he never saw coming: the deeper he falls for Francesca, the harder it becomes to remember which side he's really on.
As their worlds collide in a deadly dance of passion and peril, Alex and Francesca must navigate a labyrinth of lies, danger, and forbidden desires. Together, they'll face enemies both within and outside the shadows-because when you play with fire, someone always gets burned. But beware: in a world where everyone has secrets, no one is safe. Not even from themselves.
