She's the newly crowned head of the Romero crime family.
He's the Moretti security sworn to protect his cousin's empire. They once shared a love that ended in betrayal. Isabella Romero returns to New York carrying power, secrets, and a past she never escaped. Anthony Moretti never forgave her for the one thing he believes she stole from him. When a negotiation between rival empires turns into an ambush, blood is spilled. Anthony pulls the weapon. Isabella pulls the trigger. The dead man is the heir to a ruthless Italian syndicate. The vendetta that follows isn't declared against their families. It's declared against them. Forced into hiding at a fortified villa thousands of miles from home, Isabella and Anthony are trapped together with old wounds and unfinished truths. But someone close orchestrated the attack—and the betrayal runs deeper than either of them imagined. Anthony swore he would never trust her again. Isabella swore she would never let him see how much he still owns her heart. Now survival means standing side by side, because this time, walking away isn't an option. King of Deceit is book three in the Vows of Blood series—a dark mafia romance where old lies resurface, enemies are forced together, and love refuses to stay buried.
