Shadow of the Romano Empire

Lex Romano, the disowned bastard of the Romano Empire, returns to a neon-drenched modern metropolis ruled by ruthless mafia dynasties. Once left for dead in the gutters, Lex has crawled his way back with a cold heart, a razor-sharp mind, and a singular, lethal goal: to tear down the hierarchy that branded him a mistake. To survive the cutthroat politics of Capos and Dons, he must play a deadly game of betrayal. But his meticulous plans shatter when he is forced into an arranged alliance with the daughter of his greatest rival. Suddenly, his greatest threat isn't the assassins in the dark, but the forbidden desire pulling him toward the one woman he is sworn to destroy. In a world where love is a fatal weakness, Lex must decide if securing his throne is worth sacrificing the only humanity he has left, or if his obsession with vengeance will burn them both to ashes.
