SILENT VENGEANCE

She counts what her family would rather bury.
Sophia Moretti is a forensic accountant, deaf since childhood, and the only person in her father’s house who reads the books instead of the room. When she finds eleven million dollars moving through Moretti companies that have never issued an invoice, her uncle tells her to look harder.
Six hours later he is dead, with a dinner reservation in his pocket and a stranger’s blood beneath his fingernails.
That night the shooting starts, the lights go out, and a hand closes around her wrist in the dark — Lucian Varga, who was beaten and left for dead nine years ago on her own father’s order, and who has come back under instructions that have nothing to do with saving her.
He says he came for her. The ledger in his orders says otherwise.
What Sophia uncovers is not a feud but an accounting: murders filed as insurance losses, a ledger binding crime families to the men who run the city, and a buyer for every secret. Proving it will cost her the father who loves her, the man she never stopped wanting, and the comfortable lie that her family’s violence was ever for her protection.
She cannot hear a gunshot. She can read a balance sheet, a face, and a lie told by someone who assumes she is not listening.
Silent Vengeance is Book One of Blood Oaths, a two-book mafia dark romance. For adult readers: criminal violence, coercion, and a love story negotiated out loud, with consent on the page and nothing forgiven cheaply.
