A DARK BILLIONAIRE MAFIA ROMANCE FROM EXCITING AUTHOR ELENA WOODS
Book three in the Boston Blood series
He was the light she left behind. Now he's the darkness claiming her.
Chiara Bianchi has spent her life hidden in the shadows of the Boston mafia world, molded into a perfect mafia princess by her controlling mother. When she thinks she has reached rock bottom with the betrayal of her mother and the disgrace of her father, she hears the golden boy of the famiglia and her longtime crush, Lucas Romano, dismissing her as just a friend. With nothing left to stay for, she makes the hardest, yet easiest choice of her existence-to disappear and build a new life on her own terms.
But Lucas is far from the carefree womanizer he once seemed. Shattered by Chiara's absence, his descent into darkness is as brutal as his desire to reclaim her. When he finds her months later, strong, independent, and unwilling to return, he railroads his way back into her life, igniting a relentless game of power and obsession. When her father's death unravels the last threads of her past, Chiara faces a deal struck long ago, one that binds her to an arranged marriage she was raised all her life to fulfill, not as a choice, but as a pawn. Claiming to save her, Lucas binds her to him instead under the guise of protection. To prevent a war, Chiara is left with no choice but to surrender her future in a loveless marriage to the man she cannot bring herself to stop loving.
When everything begins to unravel, Chiara is forced to step out of the shadows and into her own power. Now, with the stakes higher than ever, she must decide if she is ready to risk it all for the man who still holds her heart. Maybe love isn't the cage binding her to the world she longed to leave behind, but the one thing that finally sets her free.
