Wicked Saint
Not yet published
Expected 7 Jul 26
A dark, obsessive marriage-of-convenience romance where a mafia prince installs surveillance cameras to watch his runaway bride—only to discover the "pampered princess" he married has been hiding a nightmare he never suspected.
This book is part of the Empire of Secrets Series, but it can be read as a standalone.
LUCA
She proposed a fake marriage to escape a monster. I said yes to destroy him.
I didn't expect to become obsessed.
Now I have cameras tracking her every move and an addiction I can't justify as protection.
I thought she was a spoiled princess playing victim. I was wrong about everything.
They call me the baby brother. The one who jokes while his brothers kill.
But there's nothing funny about what I'll do to anyone who touches what's mine.
NATALIA
I thought marrying a Santoro meant trading one monster for another. I was wrong.
Luca is dangerous. Possessive. He appears everywhere I go like he can sense when I need him.
He sees a pampered princess. I let him.
But my father won't let me go. And when the people I love start dying, I'll have to hide behind Luca's protection, or become the weapon that ends this war myself.
They call him Wicked, but he's the first man who's ever made me feel safe.
Perfect for readers who love "who did this to you" reveals, obsessed possessive heroes, marriage of convenience turned real, forbidden age-gap romance, and slow-burn that ignites into scorching heat. Features a virgin heroine who finds her power, a morally gray hero who falls first and falls hard, and a twist that changes everything.
