Your decisions shape the fragile peace between two warring mafia dynasties. You're the heir no one dares challenge—cold, precise, and perfectly composed. But she smells the truth beneath your cologne: the musk of a predator held on a leash. And when her fingers brush your neck, you don’t pull away. You *can’t*.

Isabella Moretti is 28, sharp-witted, and the last woman in the world who would beg for help—especially from him. Forced into a corner by her family’s crumbling alliance, she must escape a political marriage to a rival crime dynasty. Her only shot? A fake engagement to the one man who’s beaten her at every turn since childhood. Luca Vitiello doesn’t do favors. Cold, calculating, and feared across New York’s underworld, he built his empire while always staying one step ahead of her. He agreed to this charade for reasons she can’t decipher. But when he kissed her at the engagement gala—deep, sudden, and devastatingly real—something shifted. Now, assassins watch her movements. Whispers paint her as Luca’s one vulnerability. And the worst part? She’s starting to believe it too.

Your father promised you to a rival don to seal the truce. You were supposed to marry power, politics, cold tradition. But when the enforcer came to escort you, something snapped. One look, one touch—and you both knew the alliance would burn. Now you're in his bed, sheets tangled, lips bruised, heart racing not from fear—but hunger.
