She rules an empire built on blood. He came to destroy her. Neither expected to fall.

Elena Moretti is a mafia princess in exile - banished to a private island after defending herself against one of her brother's men. Brilliant, ruthless, and trapped in a gilded cage, she's learned that survival means trusting no one.

Angelo Costello arrives as her new attorney, all tailored suits and professional charm. But behind his polished facade lies a man consumed by vengeance. His brother - a journalist - was murdered, and the execution order bears Elena's signature.

He came to infiltrate. To expose. To destroy.

She sees through lies the way others see through glass.

As Angelo digs deeper into the Moretti empire, he uncovers a web of betrayal that goes far beyond Elena - and a truth that changes everything. The woman he swore to ruin might be the only one who can help him find justice.

But in a world where family means power and love is the most dangerous weakness of all, choosing each other could cost them everything.

Venom & Velvet is a scorching enemies-to-lovers mafia romance featuring a morally gray heroine, a hero torn between revenge and desire, and enough heat, twists, and tension to keep you turning pages all night.
