Ruthless Men Meet Sovereign Women—And Every Surrender Must Be Earned.
Enter Ravencroft—where rival bloodlines collide, dangerous bargains become vows, and love begins where power loses the right to command. EVE CROSS writes high-heat dark mafia romance where trust is earned, desire tests every allegiance, and surrender is never taken—it is chosen.
I got arranged-engaged to my enemy… then trapped with him after a hit.
Valen Cruz is the last man I should want.
He’s the rival mafia heir, my family’s blade-shaped nightmare, and the guarded, dominant monster who watches me like I’m both target and temptation.
I hate him until he corners me in a library and doesn’t kiss me.
I hate him harder when he leaves a black orchid by my sickbed after poison steals the air from my lungs.
He drains the last of the poison from the ring that nearly killed me, then stands beside me like he’d burn both empires before letting them own me.
Our engagement is supposed to end a war. Instead, it exposes one.
The Curator’s hunting us, our families are lying, my sisters are bleeding, and every secret says Valen and I were never the prize. We were the bait.
And now I’m falling for the one man who can save me… or become the reason Ravencroft buries me in white.
