The Devil's Bride
Riccardo was raised to become a weapon. Heir to one of the most powerful families of the Cosa Nostra, he spent his life being molded into the most ruthless Don Italy has ever seen. Mercy was beaten out of him. Compassion erased. What remained was a cold, calculating man capable of anything.
In the mafia world, he is known by many names, but the one whispered with fear is Devil.
The only thing that softens the darkness inside him is his passion for horses. At his prestigious equestrian center in Italy, power, money, and bloodlines collide-both on the track and behind closed doors. There is only one problem: to be recognized as a true Don, Riccardo must marry. He refuses... until the night he sees her.
Lorena. Beautiful. Proud. Untouchable.
A talented veterinarian and award-winning equestrian, Lorena grew up surrounded by the mafia but refused to become one of its silent women. She built her own life, earned her own respect, and bows to no man-especially not a monster like Riccardo.
But when the Devil decides he wants something, he takes it.
What begins as obsession turns into a dangerous game of power, desire, and defiance. Lorena wants freedom. Riccardo wants control. And in the brutal world of the mafia, love is the most dangerous weakness of all.
A forced marriage, deadly enemies, blackmail, and a battle of wills ignite a relationship where passion and hatred burn just as fiercely.
Because when the Devil chooses his bride, there is no escape.
