The Pact. The Beautiful Monster Series, #2

Valentina Romano thought she knew the depths of betrayal. She was wrong. After escaping the lies that nearly destroyed her, Lena is determined never to let her heart rule her head again-especially when it comes to Enzo De Luca. But cutting ties with the man who shattered her trust is easier said than done. Bound by blood, loyalty, and the brutal reality of New York's underworld, she can't outrun him or the fire that still burns between them.
When a violent power struggle erupts, forcing the Romanos and De Lucas into an uneasy alliance, Lena and Enzo are thrust back into each other's orbit. Every kiss is a risk, every touch a reminder of everything they stand to lose. And as enemies close in from all sides, one truth becomes undeniable: together, they are stronger. But if they can't overcome the shadows of betrayal, the war outside will be nothing compared to the one between them.
Passion. Power. Revenge. In a world where loyalty is life and betrayal is death, love might be the most dangerous gamble of all. THE BEAUTIFUL MONSTER SERIES Book 1 - The Deal Book 2 - The Pact Book 3 - The Bond
