Pure Poison (Pure #1)
Born into the ruthless world of the Mafia, Valentina Ricci, daughter of Capo Silvano Ricci, is a paradox: an angel-faced beauty groomed for domesticity, yet harboring a mind of pure poison. Betrothed against her will to the enigmatic and dangerous Raffaello Morretti, heir to the most powerful crime family, Valentina finds herself at a crossroads. Will she succumb to the expected role of a mob wife, or will she seize control, manipulate the shadows, and rise to power, even if it means betraying everyone, including the man she's fated to marry? In a world where loyalty is currency and ambition is a weapon, Valentina is ready to prove that the most beautiful flowers often conceal the deadliest thorns.
