Vicious Medicine

A Brilliant Doctor. A Ruthless Mafia Heir. A Love story written in Blood.

Heartbreak doesn’t break; it seeps. For Dr. Alina Hart, it began as a leak under the sink, a twelve-hour shift in her navy scrubs, the tangible residue of antiseptic clinging to her skin.

Her body was already heavy when her boyfriend, Evan,forgot her birthday—at a bar, for karaoke.

Alina, the pillar of calm and control, chose boundaries over emotional triangulation.

She simply opened the door and ended it.

Free of the noise, she stepped into the hospital lobby—a sanctuary of order in the chaos.

She didn’t notice him at first.

Dante Moretti.

Tall, broad-shouldered, and dangerous, he watched her from the shadows.

Watching her had become a necessity, an instinct he’d stopped questioning.

When she defused a tense situation in the hospital café, her voice soft but unwavering, he saw something in her that no one else did: a core of fierce strength beneath the serene exterior. Their chemistry was instant—and lethal.

But Alina’s boundaries are about to be breached in a way she never expected.

Leaving town for a needed break, she finds herself trapped in an airport terminal—crouched on the glass-strewn floor,caught in the crossfire of a brutal mafia hit.

A dying courier shoves a small, black flash drive into her palm with a final,desperate warning: don’t let them see it.

Alina is no longer a bystander; she is leverage.

Dante doesn’t hesitate. He moves through the screaming crowd like a predator, his dark eyes locked on the variable that changed everything: Alina. He hauls her to her feet, his hand a vise around her elbow, not cruel but unyielding. He had been sent to find the drive. Now, his mission has changed.

He hauls her into his world, a fortress of sound-proofed walls, high-definition security feeds, and a silence built from fear.

He’s already making the calculations: the Vescari will hit his businesses, his allies, his supply lines—and they will come for the drive. And they will come for her. When he finds her name circled in red on an enemy hit list, the rage from earlier returns to his eyes.

Dante Moretti is going to war. But this time, it’s not for power, or for profit.

It’s for her.

"We fight," he tells her, kneeling before her in the war room, taking her hands in his. "We use this to destroy them. I won’t let anything happen to you."
