I’m his enemy’s daughter.

His captive.

His revenge.

Until he becomes my weapon to wield against the monsters in my world.

Nova

I am the Mancini Princess. A pawn in my monstrous father’s game. His key to an alliance worthy of a king.

However, I end up under the control of a new monster—Massimo Santoro. A lethal man whose hate, wrath, and malice toward anyone with the Mancini name is palpable.

I’ve had years of learning not to fight the monsters in my world, and I try to hide behind my meek and obedient facade, but Massimo sees through it instantly. Where my life with my father was filled with brutal lessons designed to condition and mold me into what he wanted me to be, with Massimo, he unravels them all.

Until I’m unfurling and blooming into the woman I’ve always wanted to be.

But Massimo has the power to do what my father never could… Completely break me.

Massimo

I was born to lead my family. As the Don, it’s imperative that I’m calm, in control, and unyielding.

So when my enemy strikes at my family, I steal his ultimate bargaining chip–Nova, his precious, virginal daughter. I ruin his plans to use her to forge the alliance he covets.

I take Nova as a pawn in this deadly game to destroy her father, but I discover that his sins against her may be greater than against me.

Now, instead of Nova being a pawn, I’m determined she’ll be my queen. And together, we’ll cut off the head of the villainous monster who has ruled her world.

Because she’s mine. Mine to protect. Mine to help heal. And if Mancini thinks I’ll relinquish my claim, I’ll burn his world to the ground.

… I’ll burn it all to ash either way.
