Hexed by Emily McIntire (Paperback)

In Hexed by Emily McIntire, Venesa Andersen grew up invisible in the shadow of her powerful uncle, a crime lord who expects nothing less than ruthless loyalty. She trains as his enforcer, mastering poison and silence.

When a wounded man appears on her cousin’s retreat—a man named Enzo Marino, heir to a mafia empire—Venesa realises she’s been seen for the first time. Enzo, bound by duty and an arranged marriage, finds himself drawn to her sharp mind and lethal grace. Their worlds collide when business deals, family secrets and vendettas force them into each other’s orbit. Attraction turns fierce, alliances shift and the line between devotion and destruction begins to blur. Each must decide: follow the path they were born into or carve a new one together.

Hexed pulls fairy‑tale echoes into a dark, contemporary maze of power, betrayal and love that doesn’t ask for permission.
