The Devil’s Pawn

Belle lost everything to the Mafia-her family, her home, and any hope of a normal life. Now, the same men who destroyed her world are hunting her down, and she has nowhere left to run.
Marcello thrives in the world that shattered Belle’s. A ruthless businessman and the undisputed Mafia King, he controls everything in his territory-both the legitimate and the illegal. Power is his empire, and staying on top is his only goal.
But when a favor for an old friend leads him to rescue Belle, their fates become dangerously intertwined. What starts as an obligation soon turns into something far more complicated. Can Belle survive in Marcello’s world, or will he risk everything to protect her?
