She was never meant to see his world. He was never supposed to crave hers. Rosalie Carter is the golden girl — daughter of a powerful senator, straight-A student, and the poster child of perfection. But one impulsive night in a forbidden underground club leads her into the arms of Lorenzo Moretti — New York’s most dangerous secret, heir to the ruthless Moretti Mafia. Their worlds were never meant to collide. Yet one stolen kiss, one locked stare, and Rosalie is pulled into a violent underworld of power, blood, and forbidden desire. Lorenzo is everything she’s been warned about — cold, commanding, and lethal — but he looks at her like she’s the only light in his darkness. As secrets unravel and enemies close in, Rosalie must face the truth: Loving him could cost her everything. Leaving him might destroy them both. ---

To pay off his deadly debt, Aria Romano is sold to the most feared man in the underworld—Lorenzo De Luca, a ruthless mafia king whose name alone ends wars. Instead of killing her father, Lorenzo offers a crueler deal: marry him for three years, and the debt disappears. No love. No freedom. No escape. Their marriage is a lie staged for power, sealed with signatures instead of vows. Aria is forced to play the role of the obedient mafia wife, while Lorenzo watches her like a loaded gun—waiting to see if she will break… or betray him. But Aria isn’t as weak as he believes. And Lorenzo isn’t as heartless as he pretends. As enemies close in and secrets surface, hatred turns into dangerous desire, and the contract meant to control them becomes the very thing that could destroy them both. When the truth finally explodes, Aria must decide: run from the devil who bought her… or rule the empire beside him. Because in the mafia world, love isn’t a promise— it’s a war.
