Blood and Thorns

Bianca was born into power, danger, and betrayal. As the rightful heir to one of the most feared mafia dynasties, she's more than just a beautiful face—she's a storm wrapped in silk, a rose covered in thorns. But when her father is murdered under suspicious circumstances, she's left vulnerable in a world where trust is deadlier than a bullet.

Her only allies? Seven loyal dogs. Her biggest threat? The man assigned to keep her safe.

Ettore is ruthless, calculating, and completely in control. As the trusted consigliere of the infamous Russo family, he knows better than to let emotions cloud his judgment. Protecting Bianca should be simple—keep her alive, keep her out of trouble, and keep his hands off her.

But Bianca is anything but simple.

She challenges him. Tempts him. Breaks down the walls he spent years building.

The closer they get, the more dangerous their attraction becomes. Because in the mafia, love isn't just a weakness—it's a death sentence. And if Ettore crosses the line, he won't just lose his honor.

He'll lose his heart.
