Dante In my world, loyalty is everything, and betrayal means death. I've built my empire on both principles, eliminating anyone who threatens what's mine. Elena Rossi is the enemy. Her brother runs a rival family that's been stepping on my territory, testing my patience. She should be nothing more than a pawn in our deadly game. But when bullets start flying and she refuses to cower, I see the truth. She's no innocent bystander. She's got steel in her spine and fire in her blood. Protecting her makes me a target. Wanting her makes me weak. Loving her could destroy both our families. But I'm Dante Veneziano, and I've never walked away from a fight. Especially not when the prize is worth starting a war over. Dante is a short, sweet, and steamy instalove romance with a happy-ever-after. It can be read as a standalone or together with the rest of the books in the Veneziano Family series.
