Cruel Throne: A Mafia Romance

He owns half the city and every secret worth knowing—except one: that I'm the woman sent to destroy him.

Dante Russo sits at the top of a criminal empire built on blood, loyalty, and ruthless precision. He trusts no one. Wants no one. And he certainly has no use for a woman like me—sharp-tongued, stubborn, and dangerously close to uncovering what lives beneath that cold, commanding exterior.

I came to take everything from him. His power. His throne. His carefully constructed control.

I didn't plan to want him.

But that's the cruelty of it. Every clash between us burns hotter than the last. Every moment he looks at me like I'm both the threat and the prize, I forget which side of this war I'm supposed to be on. He sees through every lie I tell him—except the biggest one. And when the truth finally surfaces, it won't just shatter us.

It will shatter everything.

Dante Russo doesn't forgive betrayal. He punishes it.

*Cruel Throne* is a dark, intoxicating enemies-to-lovers romance where the line between power and surrender is razor-thin, and the most dangerous thing in the room isn't the man with the gun—it's the way he looks at her like she's already his.

Some thrones are built for two. Some love stories cost everything.

This one demands both.
