She had a false name, a plan three years in the making, and one job: find the evidence that would bring him down.
Clara arrives at Dante Moretti's gothic Upper East Side townhouse ready to destroy him. She is certain he ruined her family. She has been preparing for this for three years.
What she is not prepared for is the seven-year-old who hands her a hand-drawn map of the house on her third morning. So you don't get lost.
Or the man who plays piano in the dark after a three-year silence. Who leaves books on counters without notes. Who watches her at the edge of a marsh for eleven minutes - and never once looks at the birds.
The closer she gets, the more the story fractures.
Dante isn't ruthless. He's guarded. And there is a difference.
Then she finds the document that changes everything.
The real architect of her family's ruin was never Dante Moretti.
It was the man who gave her this mission.
Now the truth is coming to Manhattan - and the man she was sent to destroy is the only one who can protect the people she has come to love.
Manhattan Revenge is a dark, slow-burn romance about what it costs to do the right thing, and what it gives back when you finally do.
