House of Bane and Blood: An addictive fantasy romance by Bookouture

After the death of her father, the protagonist vows revenge on the Attano family, only to find herself married to one. Magic, smoke, and steam fill the air as ruling cartels play games of blood and secrets, while monsters lurk in the alleyways below.

Once the most powerful heiress in the city, her family's business empire was left in ruins by the Attanos. To reclaim it, she accepts a marriage proposal from Nicolai Attano, the man who destroyed her world. Nicolai is arrogant, heartless, and devastatingly handsome, leading criminals with lethal magical abilities. He claims the marriage is strictly business: if she helps him find a serial killer, he will release her from their contract.
