She loved the monster long before he ever learned how to love her.
Azarelle Maren has spent years in the shadows of the Castellan-Marchetti empire—protecting its secrets, securing its fortune, and secretly loving the ruthless man who rules it all.
Don Raphael Castellan-Marchetti is known as the
Iron Saint
.
Cold. Untouchable. Merciless.
And completely out of her reach.
Until one reckless confrontation shatters the line between loyalty and desire.
Suddenly, Azar is no longer just the brilliant analyst behind Raphael’s empire. She is in his bed, in his thoughts, and dangerously close to believing she might finally have a place beside him.
But in Raphael’s world, trust is more valuable than love.
And when betrayal strikes from inside the family, the evidence points to Azar.
Raphael makes one unforgivable choice.
He believes it.
By the time the truth comes to light, the woman who once worshipped him is gone—and the powerful Don who never needed anyone discovers that losing Azar may be the one thing he cannot survive.
Now the Iron Saint will have to do something far harder than conquer enemies or command an empire.
He will have to earn back his queen.
An emotionally intense mafia romance featuring obsession, betrayal, a possessive antihero, a brilliant heroine, devastating heartbreak, epic grovel, and hard-won redemption.
