Cruel Salvation (Blood & Obsessions)

About this book

When the deadliest ghost from Matteo Moretti’s past walks into a high-stakes ballroom, the underworld begins to crumble. Five years ago, Anastasia Volkov was presumed dead in a fiery explosion, leaving Matteo to mourn the woman who once held his heart. But Anastasia is alive, having been held captive by the brutal Volkov syndicate, who now intend to reclaim their lost weapon. Matteo, a man defined by his obsession and violent devotion, refuses to lose her a second time. He drags Anastasia back into his dangerous orbit, forcing her into a world of mafia wars, shifting loyalties, and lethal family legacies. As the Volkov empire closes in to destroy everything Matteo holds dear, the tension between them reaches a breaking point. Caught between her past as a syndicate pawn and a future with a man who would burn the world for her, Anastasia must ultimately decide if she is a monster forged in violence or a woman brave enough to choose love. Featuring the second-chance obsession and forced proximity tropes, *Cruel Salvation* is a dark, gripping mafia romance. It is a high-octane tale of survival where love is a weakness, crowns are taken in blood, and devotion is often the most dangerous weapon of all.
