Sold by her stepfather to settle gambling debts, Valentina Rossi expects to be broken, used, destroyed. But when the feared mafia boss Dante Moretti buys her, he doesn't drag her to his bedroom. He takes her to his kitchen. Dante collects dangerous obsessions, and his is culinary perfection. Ever since a traitorous chef poisoned his younger brother, food became a battlefield. In Valentina's hands he finds something he thought dead: the ability to create beauty instead of destroying it. But the past never forgets, and debts are always collected. When Salvatore Rossi returns to claim what he considers his, he doesn't come just for money. He brings secrets that could bleed Valentina dry if they come to light. Because her mother's death was no accident, and the truth has fangs that tear when you least expect it. Trapped between the man who owns her and the one who betrayed her, Valentina must decide: remain a victim or become something more lethal. In a world where love is paid for with blood and every caress can be a prelude to betrayal, some choices are unforgivable. Do you dare enter a kitchen where cold revenge and burning passions are served? Don't say I didn't warn you: at this banquet, love and death share a table. A mafia romance novel that explores the edge between obsession and devotion, where redemption is cooked over low heat and danger never leaves the table.
When does love become a chain you can't see until you try to move?
This hits too close to home. I'm terrified he'll decide to 'protect' me by llocking me up forever, but honestly? I think I's rather be in his golden cage than out there where hte real danger is. Anyone else feeling that twisted mix of fear and attraction?
In this world, official messages were death sentences dressed in courtesy.
That's where the real drama lives for a mafia gamily! A polite letter is just the leash before the wolf tears. Dante reading that envelope isn't reading news;; he's signing his own execution order to keep her safe from a rival family like tje Rossis. 🤯
How much does a confession weigh that can destroy decades of brotherhood?
I'm so nervous for thjs one! If Marco pulls a gun on Dante right now, I think we are going to have the most dramatic scene ever. 🤯🔥
"Dante smiled with an expression that had made harder men seek refuge in confessions their mothers would never have forgiven."
"Dear God, his eyes burned with fire that promised to consume everything in its path."
