Owned By The Devil of Manhattan

By Vera Nightling

She was never meant to be part of his war.

Elena Rossi believes in clean lines.
In loyalty. In truth. In staying out of battles that aren't hers.

Until she witnesses something she shouldn't.

Now Manhattan's most controlled and dangerous man is standing between her and the people who want her silenced.

Luca Moretti doesn't lose control.
He doesn't negotiate under threat.
And he doesn't protect anyone who isn't his.

But the night Queens crosses a line, Elena stops being neutral.

She becomes untouchable.

Taken to his penthouse for her "protection," Elena refuses to be collateral in a world built on calculated violence. Luca insists she's safe beside him.

What he doesn't tell her is this:

Five years ago, when her father died in a "construction accident," Luca knew it was coming.

He didn't order it.

He didn't stop it.

And now the only way to prove she's not leverage...
is to go to war for her.

As rivals circle and blood is drawn, Elena must decide:

Is a man who once chose power over justice capable of choosing her instead?

Owned by the Devil of Manhattan is a dark, high-heat mafia romance featuring:
- Possessive, controlled anti-hero
- Forced proximity (with full consent)
- Touch-her-and-die energy
- Public power declarations
- A morally gray hero who doesn't beg
