Scars & Silence: Dark Mafia Romance

RAINA

Love was supposed to heal me. But with Ace, love only burns hotter.

He's mine in every way that matters—body, soul, blood—but now the scars between us are deeper than ever. One wrong move, and I could lose him. One wrong word, and I already might have. I thought going back to my family would give me closure… instead, it nearly destroyed him. And maybe us. But the truth is, I don't belong with them. I never did. My home is with Ace—even if our love feels like standing too close to a fire that could consume us both.

ACE

She said she loved me. And then she left.

All my life I've been a weapon, a protector, a killer. But for Raina, I tried to be more—gentler, softer, something I never knew how to be. But when she looked at her old life like it might still be her future, something inside me snapped. I don't know how to fix this. I only know one thing: no one hurts her. Not even me. And if I have to crawl through fire to prove she still belongs to me—I will. Because even if she breaks my heart… I'll still beg her to keep it.

This is the third book of The Reaper's Oath Series — reading order: Blood & Vows, Chains & Chaos, Scars & Silence, and Ashes & Oaths.
