They say opposites attract, but when a God-fearing woman crosses paths with a man made of sin, it's not attraction - it's combustion.Ayla Vetrova left Tennessee chasing quiet - a fresh start, her art degree, and a life where the shadows couldn't follow. Her mother's only warning? Keep her head down. Don't get distracted. Ayla had planned to do exactly that... until she met Lucian, who'd seen her light, her pain, and decided it was his to keep.Luciano Mancuso is a man with blood on his hands, enemies at his back, and a heart he swears doesn't exist. Violence wrapped in Valentino silk. He's lived his life in the shadows - killing for family, bleeding for loyalty, and waiting for the day death finally claims him. Then Ayla walked into his world, all soft smiles and scripture, and the last thing he wanted became the only thing he couldn't let go.Now, tangled in a world of blood debts, betrayal, and a brother's vendetta, Ayla's faith is tested against a love that's as consuming as it is forbidden. They say opposites attract. They don't tell you it might kill you.What is faith, if not tested?What is sin, if not sweet?
