Heir of Ruin: An Anti-Hero Romance (The Cavallo Brothers)

Raffael Cavallo doesn't make mistakes—except once, two years ago, when Isla Cross got close enough to crack the carefully constructed armor of New York's most dangerous businessman.

He ended it the only way he knew how: brutally, completely, and with enough coldness to ensure she'd never come back. It worked. Until Isla stops running from him and starts fighting back, threatening everything his family has built with a precision that tells him she's been paying very close attention.

That was her first mistake.

In the shadowed world of the Cavallo crime empire, where tailored suits conceal lethal legacies and loyalty is bought in blood, Raffael operates without mercy. What Isla calls kidnapping, he calls inevitable. What she calls manipulation, he calls control. And what she's starting to feel for the man who terrifies her most—that, she refuses to name at all.

Heir of Ruin is a pulse-pounding dark mafia romance set against the glittering brutality of New York's criminal underworld, where the line between punishment and obsession dissolves long before either of them is ready to admit it. Eden Summers delivers an anti-hero who is equal parts magnetic and monstrous, and a heroine whose defiance only makes her more dangerous to his carefully guarded heart.

He told himself keeping her close was about control. But Raffael Cavallo has never been very good at lying to himself—and Isla is making it so much worse.
