In the fog-shrouded streets of Blackwater City, some debts can only be paid in blood...
Liliana Russo would burn the world down for her father's violins. So when she discovers his priceless collection has been stolen-sold like common trinkets to cover her bastard fianc 's debts-she does the unthinkable. She walks straight into the lair of Blackwater's most lethal predator and demands he give them back.
Big mistake.
Dante Marino doesn't negotiate. He takes. For four centuries, the vampire don has ruled his empire through fear, blood, and absolute control. Lesser men grovel at his feet. Enemies disappear without a trace. But when this fierce little violinist storms into his domain and meets his gaze without fear, he makes her an offer laced with temptation: play for him, and he'll return her violins-one by one.
She should run. Instead, she accepts.
