The Dominico family controls Venice—every shadow, every secret, every vampire—and rules the D’Immortali Dynasty with an unforgiving fist.
When Don Marcello ordered my father's assassination, he thought he'd settled an ancient rivalry. Instead, he started a war.
Now I'll paint this city red with their blood.
I have one chance at revenge—marry Gabriel Dominico, the Don's golden heir, and destroy their empire from within. My plan is simple. I'll become his innocent bride, hide a knife in my veil, then carve out his heart to keep for my own.
But as we exchange our vows, Dante Dominico returns.
The exiled son.
The traitor the empire tried to destroy.
In front of Venice's most powerful vampire families, Dante shatters my carefully laid plans like glass, claiming his sworn right to steal me from his brother's altar.
Now I'm bound to the wrong Dominico. The brutal, ruthless male forged in the fighting pits of the Fossa, returned to Venice to wreak his own version of vengeance.
And if I’m not careful, I'll be the one ending up in a box.
DECEIVED is a steamy enemies to lovers vampire mafia romance set against the haunting backdrop of Venice, with forced marriage, forbidden romance, hot villains, age gap, morally gray antiheroes, power plays and a fierce, stabby heroine.
