Giovanni

I loved her in secret. I buried her in silence.

Now, she’s back with the one thing I can’t deny—my son.

Zina appears at my wife’s funeral like a ghost from hell with a boy who has my eyes.

She says she wants justice. She wants me to accept him.

But I know she wants power.

She’s poison in a black dress. And I crave every damn drop.

I can’t think straight around her—her scent in my sheets, her fire in my veins.

Her scent haunts me. Her body still begs for mine.

Zina wants the kingdom I built…and I want her.

If I’m not careful, she’ll take it....

Zina

I was his wild obsession. His hidden sin.

I loved him, but SHE wore his ring.

Giovanni Rivas swore he loved me. Then he left me to rot in silence.

I disappeared—pregnant, heartbroken, and erased.

Now his wife is gone, and I’m done hiding.

But this time, I’m not his mistress—I’m his reckoning.

I want what was promised to me long ago—my place beside him.

I see the way he looks at me…he remembers my taste.

He still hungers for my body.

But he tells me I’m a threat.

I tell him I’m just getting started.
