The Butcher's Debt

To the rest of the world, Dante "The Butcher" Moretti is a monster, a man who carves his way through the underworld with cold, surgical precision. But to Bianca Vitale, he is the man who dismantled her life. When her father’s gambling debts and failed shipments push her family to the brink of extinction, Dante offers a deal that is less of a mercy and more of a death sentence: Bianca’s hand in marriage in exchange for her father’s life.
​Bianca walks down the aisle in a shroud of white silk, carrying a hidden silver stiletto and a heart full of ice. She has a plan: play the submissive, perfect wife by day, and dismantle the Moretti empire from the inside by night. She will be the ghost in his machine, the poison in his cup, and the spy who brings the Butcher to his knees.
​But Dante is no fool. He didn't marry her for a debt; he married her because he has been obsessed with the fire in her eyes for years. Behind the heavy oak doors of the Moretti villa, a dark game of cat-and-mouse begins. Dante’s possessiveness is suffocating, his touch is a brand, and his eyes see through every lie she whispers against his skin.
​As the line between her fake submission and real desire begins to blur, Bianca makes a terrifying discovery: Dante has been one step ahead of her from the very first "I do." In a world where love is a weakness and betrayal is paid in blood, she must decide if she can truly destroy the man who bought her soul or if she is destined to become the queen of the monster she swore to kill.
