Prologue
Five Years Ago
Rain bled down the glass as Elena Marquez watched her brother die.
It was supposed to be a simple deal. Money exchanged for silence — her brother always had a way of getting tangled in things too big for him. She stood frozen behind the crumbling brick wall, her breath shallow, her fists clenched, nails biting into her palms as she tried to stay hidden.
But you can't hide from men like them.
Not from Dante Salvatore.
Not from the Salvatore syndicate.
The man her brother trusted had sold him out.
The man who shook his hand put a bullet in his chest less than a minute later.
And standing at the center of it all, untouched, commanding, dangerous even then — was Dante.
A black suit drenched in rain, a crooked smile barely tilting the corner of his lips, eyes colder than the steel pressed against her brother's skull. He hadn't pulled the trigger. Men like him didn't have to.
She had been eighteen — too young, too stupid to understand how deep his empire ran.
Too helpless to stop it.
But not anymore.
Now, at twenty-three, Elena had traded her innocence for strategy, her grief for resolve, and her fear for a badge she didn't wear in public. She had spent years training, studying, embedding herself in the task force hunting his empire. And tomorrow night, she would walk into Club Inferno — into his world.
She would smile.
She would lie.
She would make him trust her.
And when he least expected it…
She would destroy Dante Salvatore from the inside out.
She owed her brother that much.
