The Savage and the Saint (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798275134018)

In the shadowy world of the Seven Syndicate, loyalty is bought with blood, and betrayal is a death sentence.

Luca Conti, known as "The Ghost," lived by this code. As the most elusive and deadly enforcer for the powerful brotherhood, he believed in the sanctity of family-until the night his brothers sold him out to the Russian Bratva. Captured, tortured, and left with a body full of scars and a soul emptied of hope, Luca endured a hell that forged him into a weapon of pure vengeance.

Five years later, he's a phantom, hunting the men who destroyed him. His mission is simple: find the traitors and kill them. But his path leads him to a rain-slicked alley and a witness he cannot eliminate: Alice Verandi.

An artist with a quiet life and a past of her own, Alice does the unthinkable-she saves the monster at her door. She nurses Luca back to health in her sunlit studio, seeing the wounded man behind the killer's eyes. Drawn to his darkness and the glimmer of humanity she alone can reach, Alice becomes his only tether to a world beyond violence.

But the past doesn't let go so easily. The remnants of the Seven are hunting the last loose end, and a vengeful heir with limitless resources will stop at nothing to see Luca dead. To protect the woman he loves, Luca must become the Ghost one last time and unleash the hell he endured upon his enemies.

The Seven Syndicate is a gripping, graphic-novel-inspired series that blends the brutal action of a mafia thriller with the passionate, soul-deep connection of a dark romance. It's a story of redemption forged in fire, the high cost of peace, and the undeniable power of a love that refuses to die.
