Blood may seal the deal-but betrayal always writes the fine print. Felicity Veneto never asked to be a pawn in her family's war, but when her freedom is traded for peace, she's thrown into the arms of Khalil Bulgari, the man she hates almost as much as she craves. Trapped in his luxurious cage, she knows survival means playing the part of the dutiful fiancée… until she can find a way out. Khalil didn't become the Bulgari enforcer by trusting pretty faces and fake tears. He sees through Felicity's games. However, the more she schemes, the deeper she gets under his skin. And the more he tries to control her, the more dangerous she becomes. Tatum Genovese-Bulgari may wear the crown, but inside her own family, respect is earned in blood. As the first woman to run the Genovese organization, she's surrounded by doubt and the constant pressure of her husband's need for control. However, with a new army of elite women behind her, Tatum's playing the long game... even as she hides a secret that could potentially ruin her marriage. Naeem Bulgari loves his wife, but he's not built to play second to any woman. Especially not one who used to belong to him in every way. Their love is as raw as it is ruthless, and when business and desire collide, something's gotta give. Lust built the empire. Power keeps it running. But betrayal? That's the real inheritance. And when the blood settles, only the merciless will be left standing.
