Ava Rose

She went to the warehouse to negotiate a debt. She didn’t know I was walking into a supernatural auction. Her father died and left her nothing but two million dollars of debt to a man named Lucien Blackwood — and a dying sister whose medical bills he’d been secretly paying. He owns her before she even know his name. Lucien Blackwood is an Alpha. Powerful. Ruthless. He buys her like she just another acquisition. What he doesn’t know — what nobody knows — is that she his fated mate. And fated mates don’t stay sold.

My father spent twelve years building a case against the most dangerous man in the city. He died two days before he could present it. Now I work for the man who killed him. Dante Marrano runs his crime empire from a glass tower with no name on the door. He doesn't raise his voice or make threats. He simply makes problems disappear. I walked into his world with a clean cover, a stolen identity, and one singular goal: finish what my father started and bring Dante Marrano to his knees. What I didn't plan for was Dante himself. He knew my real name before I even spoke it. He watched me like I was the only variable in the room that mattered. Underneath his eerie stillness lives a lethal edge, and the worst part isn't the danger, it's how badly I am drawn to it. Every glance is a silent battle. Every touch is a deliberate trap. He knows I came here to destroy him. I know he isn't the simple monster the world made him out to be. As the lines between vengeance and obsession blur, the truth becomes harder to survive than the lies. In a city built on bloodshed and secrets, falling for the enemy is a death sentence, but walking away is no longer an option. One of us will burn this empire to the ground, and neither of us is walking away clean. *THE DEVIL'S CONTRACT* is a high-stakes, enemies-to-lovers mafia romance about a woman who walks into a killer's world for revenge, and the ruthless boss who lets her in because he has plans of his own.
