When my father dies, all the security I’ve known is ripped away, forcing me to come face to face with the eldest brother, Asher Voss.

A bargain is made, and I have no choice but to live in the shadowy confines of his gothic manor to save my family. As time passes, it becomes harder and harder to deny our attraction. Asher Voss might be too old for me, and he’s definitely cursed by his own demons, but an inferno of passion between us threatens to either consume or destroy us both.

Sofia Moretti For years, I’ve harbored a secret love for my best friend’s older brother. Yet, he’s never shown any sign of sharing my feelings. My fantasies will remain just that—fantasies. For two reasons. First, he’s arranged to marry the cunning and cold-hearted Aurora Salucci. Second, Antonio always does what his duty demands, and if his father wants him married to Aurora, he’ll marry her. Forced to watch her parade him all over Sicuro Academy, I do my best to push Antonio from my mind and hope I can move on from someone who will never be mine… Antonio La Rosa My life has been a series of duties—to the mafia, to my father, but never to myself. Aurora and I are a good match as far as mafia politics go, but she’s nothing I’ve ever wanted in a wife with her hard edges and being about as malleable as granite. Then there’s Sofia Moretti, my little sister’s best friend. I never looked at her with anything other than sisterly affection, until recently. Now she consumes my every thought. My every desire. Her innocence beckons me, and I yearn to be the one who taints it. But I have a duty. And right now, the family needs me to uncover the traitor plotting against us… and that traitor may be closer than I ever imagined.
