Painted in Sin

She’s the key to his revenge. He’s the ruin of her reputation.

One stolen masterpiece. Two enemies bound by secrets.

And a love that could set the Roman underworld on fire.

Victor Costa was born to take over the most feared mafia dynasty in Rome.

To do that, he needs a priceless painting—and the diamonds hidden behind its frame.

The problem?

Only one woman in the world can authenticate it.

Isabella De Luca.

Renowned curator.

Flawless reputation.

The woman whose past is tied to the betrayal that nearly destroyed Victor’s family.

He blackmails her into cooperation.

She swears she’ll never bend.

But in a world where power seduces and secrets kill, desire is the most dangerous weapon of all.

She was supposed to be his pawn.

He was supposed to be her captor.

So why does it feel like they’re both losing control?

Because the closer they get,

the harder it becomes to tell who’s using who—

and who’ll be the first to betray everything for love.

The Costa family has one rule: protect the bloodline.

But Victor is about to break it…

for the one woman he was never meant to touch.
