The Lion's Oath
He was never supposed to survive the night. She was never supposed to save him.
Dr. Giovanna Mancini has spent six years keeping her hands steady and everyone else at arm's length. Then a man bleeds out on her ER table with three armed strangers refusing to leave the room, and she breaks the one rule she's never bent: she saves him.
Domenico Rossi didn't survive fourteen years as capo of the Rossi crime family by trusting anyone, least of all a woman sharp enough to read every lie before he tells it. But Giovanna doesn't flinch from what he is. She stitches him back together and asks for nothing, and that, more than any bullet, is what undoes him.
When a rival family declares war on everything he's built, Giovanna finds her oath and his world colliding, a place where loyalty is currency, silence is survival, and love is the one debt neither of them can afford. As the danger closes in and her own sister is dragged into a fight she never chose, Giovanna has to decide how much of herself she's willing to give a man who was never supposed to be hers.
The lion protects what belongs to him. The only question left is whether she's willing to become it.
A slow-burn, high-stakes Sicilian mafia romance with a possessive hero, a heroine who never loses herself, and a happily-ever-after earned in blood.
