Retribution

Protect her. Seduce her. Marry her.
That was the mission.
Not my choice.
I’m just a piece on my father’s chessboard—playing a game where losing means I win.
Refuse, and I face his wrath.
Comply, and I chain myself to a woman I’ve never met.

Then I met her.
Tiffany Zaferelli.
A novice nun.
Stubborn. Righteous. Infuriating.
A cross I’m forced to carry.

She challenges everything—my control, my patience and the darkness I keep buried.
For a man who’s built his life on power, she’s gasoline poured straight into the fire.
If her enemies don’t kill her first I might do it myself. Free of charge.

But then the truth about her past begins to surface.
Ghosts are coming for her. Violent ones.
Suddenly the monster everyone fears is the only thing standing between her and the grave.
The darkness inside me isn’t a curse.
It’s exactly what she needs.
Because prayers won’t save her.
Saints won’t protect her.
Only a demon will.
And this time, the story doesn’t end the way it should.
This time, the villain gets the girl.
Whether she wants him or not.
