Shades Of Vengeance

"I'm in love with you Verena knightly" his voice is so raw with emotion and his beautiful grey eyes are swirling with truth but i can't bring myself to believe him. I'm willing myself so desperately to say it back, because I really am in love with him too but it's like I'm frozen.

"Prove it" the words are out my mouth before I can think about what I'm saying

He looks taken back for a second but then in front of our families, our enemies, our friends, he lowers himself to the ground infront of me and kneels at my feet

Verena Knightly is not your typical mafia princess. After a harrowing experience as a young child, where she was kidnapped and held captive, she swore to become strong and capable of defending herself. Now, a woman of captivating beauty and lethal skills, she has become the pride of her family, known as the top assassin in their powerful mafia organization.

Davin Avril, on the other hand, is the cold-hearted heir to the American mafia empire. His reputation precedes him as a ruthlessly efficient killer, sparing no mercy when it comes to protecting his family's interests. Deep down, he does love his family and would do anything to safeguard them.

Fate takes a twisted turn when their families decide to arrange a marriage between Verena and Davin. Both aghast at the idea, Verena and Davin find themselves forced into a union they have no desire for, viewing each other with disdain and defiance.

Will they succumb to the legacy of violence that surrounds them, or will they choose love, even if it means sacrificing everything they have?
