    About this ebook

    My father wants to cement my future reign with a marriage.
    But I am not a man who follows paths laid out by others.
    I will carve my own legacy. I will write my own history.

    Corrupt Saint takes place months before the start of Ruthless Sinner, with haunting flashbacks into Dante and Adalina's dark past.

    When revenge collides with coincidence, no one is safe.

    Note: Corrupt Saint sets the scene for Dante and Adalina's relationship in Ruthless Sinner.

      Warning: This prequel contains mentions and depictions of violent and abusive content. Please skip chapter 5 if child abuse is triggering for you. It is briefly depicted on-page and is not for glorification.

      Corrupt Sinner is a prequel. It is not meant to be a full-length novel, but the events preceding the start of Ruthless Sinner.

      My father tested my resolve at fifteen. For years, he patiently taught me the ins and outs of the family business, preparing me for the harsh truth about the Terlizzis. Finally, on a quiet Wednesday night, he presented me with the opportunity to prove my worth.

      I’m sitting at my desk surrounded by books, trying to finish a paper for English class. My focus is consumed with the
