Seduction of the Patriarch (Cavalieri Billionaire Legacy Series)

With a single gunshot, she brings the violent secrets of my buried past into the present. She may not have pulled the trigger, but she still has blood on her hands. And I know some very creative ways to make her pay for it. I am as ruthless as my Cavalieri ancestors, who forged our powerful family legacy. But no fortune is built without spilling blood. I've earned a reputation as a dangerous man to cross and made enemies along the way. So, to protect those I love, I handed over the mantle of patriarch to my brother and moved to northern Italy. For years, I stayed in the shadows… Then, a vindictive mafia syndicate attacked my family. Now, nothing will prevent me from seeking vengeance on those responsible. And I don't give a damn who I hurt in the process—including her. Whether it takes seduction, punishment, or both, I intend to manipulate her as a means to an end. Yet, the more my little kitten shows her claws, the more I want to make her purr. My plan is to coerce her into helping me topple the mafia syndicate and then retreat into the shadows. But if she keeps fighting me… I might just have to take her with me. Seduction of the Patriarch continues the sultry, enemies-to-lovers, mafia romance drama of the Cavalieri men. If you love the dark and twisted romantic suspense of Natasha Knight, A. Zavarelli, Charmaine Pauls, and Anna Zaires, then this series is a must-listen!
