Lucia

Mia is everything to me—my heart, my soul, my reason for living. When I first saw her as a scared teenager, I knew she was meant to be mine. Now, after years of scheming and plotting to make her my wife, she finally belongs to me. Our wedding was a dream, but the happy times were short-lived.

Someone is trying to take Mia from me, no matter the cost. I'll kill anyone who threatens what's mine. Mia's love helps keep the madness at bay, but if I lose her, there will be no stopping the monster within. This war brewing against my family will unleash a bloodbath if that's what it takes to keep Mia safe. She's my wife, my queen—and I'll destroy the world for her if I must.

Mia

I knew marrying Lucia would change my life forever, but I didn't expect the chaos that came with it. Barely married and already there are hits out on my life. Lucia has become obsessively protective, killing anyone who even looks at me the wrong way. I'm terrified of the monster I've unleashed in her.

This war against my own parents is bringing out the lethal killer in Lucia. She lives for the bloodshed while it nauseates me. I'm trying to be supportive, but the dark madness is too much. What if she loses control? What if the Lucia I love is gone forever, replaced by a cold-blooded monster? I'll stand by her side no matter what, but I'm afraid of what this will do to us—and what will be left of my humanity.
