Blood doesn't lie-but families do.
Elena Peters is determined to save her dying mother, but finding out she has half-siblings who've got luxurious lives has got her looking deeper into the family she didn't know she had.
Investigating the Donati family's operations is her only option. But she never counted on Jackson Graves-the tattooed, scarred enforcer whose cold eyes see too much. One touch from him sets her body on fire. One look makes her question everything she thought she wanted.
"I should stay away from you," he warns, his rough hands contradicting his words as they pull her closer. "But I've never been good at denying myself what I want."
Their forbidden attraction blazes hotter as Elena discovers the truth about her father's brutal past. Each secret revealed draws her deeper into Jackson's dangerous world-and deeper into his possessive embrace. When a rival family questions her true identity, Elena finds herself becoming a part of that world, faced with impossible odds, and deadly choices.
Some bonds are forged in blood. Others in fire.
