Arranged Limerence
Rowan Byrne has spent his entire life as the Byrne Syndicate’s shadow .quiet, lethal, and invisible by design. Known within the family as the Ghostman, he does the work no one else can stomach and asks for nothing in return. Nothing , ....except the one thing he can never have.
Elena Venturi.
She’s the younger sister of the Venturi Don in Florence, intelligent, guarded, and raised to understand power long before love. Rowan saw her once, years ago, and never truly let her go. From a distance, from silence, from obsession.
When a strategic alliance between the New York Whelan Syndicate and the Venturi family demands a marriage to seal it, Rowan assumes it will be anyone but him. Instead, Elena is promised to his younger brother—clean, charming, acceptable. The kind of man Rowan was never meant to be.
Bound by loyalty and suffocating restraint, Rowan watches as the only thing that ever mattered to him is handed to someone else for the sake of power. Elena, unaware of the storm circling her life, steps into a world where every smile hides a blade—and every decision has consequences.
As alliances tighten and secrets rot beneath the surface, obsession collides with duty. Love becomes dangerous. Loyalty becomes deadly. And the man who was never meant to want anything may finally decide that some things are worth burning an empire for.
