Owned by the Ruthless King By Joy M. Isabella Russo’s life shatters the night she witnesses a murder. The man responsible is Dante Moretti—the ruthless mafia king who rules the city with fear, power, and blood. Cold. Untouchable. Dangerous. Three days later, Isabella is forced to marry him. What begins as a political deal quickly turns into something far darker. Dante doesn’t just want obedience—he wants control. And the more Isabella fights him, the more determined he becomes to break her walls. But secrets lurk behind the marriage. When Isabella discovers that her own father betrayed Dante’s empire, she realizes she has been trapped in a deadly war between two powerful men. Now enemies are closing in, bullets are flying, and the only man capable of protecting her… is the one she fears the most. Yet beneath Dante’s ruthless exterior lies an obsession that burns dangerously close to love. In a world ruled by violence, loyalty, and betrayal, Isabella must decide: Is she the prisoner of the mafia king… or the queen who will rule beside him?
