Tiffanie L. Campbell

She was born a secret. The daughter of a powerful mafia boss, Valentina Maranzano was declared stillborn and hidden away overseas—raised in silence to protect her from the enemies her father made. At fifteen, everything changed. Her entire family was slaughtered in a single night, and the man responsible was clear: Matteo Genovese, heir to the family her father once betrayed.

Ten years later, Valentina returns. Older. Colder. Unrecognizable. With a new name and a carefully crafted lie, she slips into Matteo’s world under the guise of seduction and strategy. When he offers her a dangerous bet during a high-stakes poker game—her body for everything he owns—she accepts. She’s not there to win. She’s there to get close, earn his trust, marry him, and destroy him from the inside.

But nothing goes as planned.

Matteo is possessive, brutal, and disarmingly clever. The closer she gets to him, the harder it becomes to separate the act from her own unraveling emotions. She hates him… until she doesn’t. And just when her loyalty begins to shift, Matteo uncovers her true identity—and all hell breaks loose.

But he has secrets too.

Her father—the man she idolized—was no hero. He was a trafficker. A monster. And Matteo didn’t kill him that night. He kept him alive, hidden, and tortured—for ten years.

Now, Valentina must face the truth: the man she came to destroy might be the only one who ever truly protected her.

And the man she once called “father”… must die by her hand.

Dark. Twisted. Addictive.
Owned by the Enemy is a slow-burn mafia romance packed with betrayal, obsession, and a love that rises from the ashes of revenge.
