Her life is a carefully controlled performance until a single, brutal act of betrayal shatters her world and leaves her for dead. Saved by a mysterious stranger, she is offered a chance at vengeance she can't refuse. Alexander "Xan" Stavros is a ghost—a highly skilled fixer and enforcer whose entire existence is dedicated to a single, destructive purpose: dismantling the Conti empire from the inside. He is cold, calculating, and has never missed his mark. His carefully laid plans are thrown into chaos when the one person he never expected to survive becomes the key to his mission. Forced into a dangerous alliance, Less and Xan navigate a treacherous landscape of lies and shifting loyalties. As they plunge deeper into the underworld, the line between enemy and ally blurs, igniting a fierce and forbidden passion that threatens to consume them both. Every touch is a battle, every moment of vulnerability a risk. To get their revenge, they must trust each other with their darkest secrets and their lives. But in a game where the truth is the most dangerous weapon of all, can their fragile bond survive, or will the very vengeance they seek destroy them first? Blood Sweeter than Honey is a dark, steamy mafia romance full of twists, tension, and ruthless characters.
