His Wicked Throne

Valentina Rossi returns home for one reason only-to claim what was stolen from her family. She is smart, relentless, and raised in a world where weakness is punished and loyalty is bought. The throne at the center of the underworld was never supposed to be vacant, but now every predator in the city wants a crown, and the most dangerous of them all is Sebastian Moretti.
Sebastian is heir, executioner, and king-in-waiting, a man born to command and willing to crush anyone who challenges his rise. Valentina is supposed to be his rival, not his temptation. But when a hidden enemy begins dismantling both their empires from the inside, the only way to survive is to form an alliance neither of them trusts.
Their partnership ignites into a war of wills, sharp words, and devastating attraction. Together, they are unstoppable. Apart, they are vulnerable. But thrones are never won without sacrifice, and the closer Sebastian and Valentina come to power, the more they realize their greatest threat may not be the enemies circling them-it may be the feelings they cannot afford to have. In the end, only one thing is certain: the wicked never fall quietly.
