My sister was framed for seducing the Don of a rival family.
As punishment, my husband, Vincent, chained her in a cold storage for three days and nights.
To save her, Vincent demanded a price: my mother's signet ring—the last piece of her I had left—for his mistress.
Blinded by tears, I twisted the signet ring from my finger.
But just as I was about to hand it over...
My son kicked my hand away, his face twisted in disgust. "Who said you could stand?"
"Crawl over here. On your knees. And put it on Aunt Tessa’s hand yourself."
I knelt on the floor and crawled on all fours toward the woman who destroyed my life.
That night, they took a lobe of my lung and gave it to her.
I woke to learn my sister had frozen to death anyway.
Wiping away my tears, I made a call.
"I'll take your deal. But I want ten times what you offered."

He Loved Me in the Morgue

Vincent floored the accelerator, the car hurtling toward the Castellano family estate.


The powerful G-force slammed Tessa back into her seat. She couldn't help but cry out.


"Vincent… I'll apologize to her, I swear! Please, just slow down!"


The words had barely left her mouth when Luke, his face twisted in disgust, slapped a piece of duct tape over her lips.


Tessa didn't dare touch the tape. She could only let out muffled whimpers as she fumbled for her seatbelt and gripped the door handle.


They screeched to a halt at the estate moments later.


The instant the car stopped, Vincent dragged Tessa out and hauled her into the manor.


With a sharp click, the entire manor was flooded with light.


Vincent stared at the empty hall, his lips a thin, hard line. His voice echoed in the vast space. "Isabella, it's me!"
