A devil's bargain, a forced marriage, and a broken heroine set a heavy, brooding tone for this dark mafia opener. Bound in blood and obligation, it explores damage, possession, and the slow possibility of healing within danger. Readers who crave a tormented heroine, a ruthless yet protective hero, and the ache of redemption forged in darkness will be drawn deep. Intense and emotional, it doesn't shy from the genre's heavier shadows.
