A pulsing novel from USA Today bestselling author Шэйн Роуз! The continuation of the passionate, high-tension series "Порочная империя," which is easy to read as a standalone story. A new sensual love line and the return of characters from "Расколотая свобода" and "Искаженный хаос." For fans of D. J. Shan and Sofi Lark. Just what you need if you choose dark heroes with ambiguous morals.
Sébastien Armanelli is the most powerful man in the city, whose influence reaches everyone… and of course his newlywed wife. I live surfing: I can conquer any wave, and I’m not used to obeying. But to save my family and our city, I make a deal that turns the blood cold: for six months, my hand and heart belong to the head of the Italian mafia. Sébastien insists that our union is only a beautiful setup for outsiders’ eyes. Only I know him too well—every tattoo, every touch, his taste. During the day, my husband promises to be the perfect gentleman and play his part. But when night falls, he becomes himself again—confident, hard, ruthlessly controlling. And when a split begins brewing within the clan—once considered united—capable of spilling blood, Sébastien has to act without sentiment. Armanelli doesn’t share what he considers his. And now “his” includes me. I’m under his power… but only for six months. The countdown has begun.
