Dark & Lovely Ruin

By: Lola Dresden

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

His brother rose from the dead. And took the only woman Dante ever wanted with him.

Dante Vassallo came to Palermo for vengeance—to dig up the ledgers that prove what Antonio really is and watch his sainted empire crumble. He didn't come for her.

But Isolde is everywhere. Draped in black. Veiled like a relic. Playing the miracle wife while her eyes say she's drowning.
She was given to Antonio once. Now she's trapped in a resurrection she never asked for, wearing his brother's ring like a shackle—and looking at Dante like he's the only door out.

Every secret pulls them closer. Every stolen moment is a betrayal waiting to detonate. And if Dante tears down Antonio's kingdom, he'll bury her with it—unless he can get her out first.

Some men come back from the grave. Dante's here to put his back in it.

A gothic mafia romance of second chances, brother's wife obsession, and sins that refuse to stay buried. For readers who crave forbidden reclamation, family vendettas, and slow-burns that detonate.
