He ruins her family at dusk and marries her by midnight.
The kiss he gives at the altar isn't a promise—it's a sentence.

Alessia Romano says "I do" to survive the Valenti crown, but surrender isn't in her blood. Dante Valenti—mafia king, beautiful and merciless—claims her as his trophy and his obsession, locking her inside a fortress of velvet and guns. Every room is a rule. Every touch is a warning. Every breath reminds her she is the wife of the man who ended her old life and owns her new one.

Freedom comes as a devil's bargain: no bars, no exits, and a husband who studies her like a weapon he intends to keep. Outside, enemies circle; inside, secrets burn—of a brother buried, a kingdom cracking, and a queen who refuses to kneel. Desire coils with danger until the line between hate and hunger snaps, and Alessia must choose: bend to the king, or set his empire on fire.

Ruthless Devotion is a dark, high-heat mafia romance about power, possession, and a captive bride who would rather start a war than lose herself. Expect razor-edged tension, sinful chemistry, and a heroine who learns the cost of defiance—and the price of being wanted by a monster.
