She was promised to a monster. Then he stole her from the altar. Isabella Moretti has one duty—marry the ruthless heir of the Romano crime family to end their bloody feud. But when a rival makes a last-minute offer, she thinks she’s escaped the devil she’s never met.  She’s wrong.  Dante Romano doesn’t take insults lightly. When Isabella’s father breaks their agreement, Dante does what he does best—he takes what he wants. Kidnapped from her own wedding, Isabella wakes up bound to his bed, at the mercy of a man whose icy gaze burns hotter than she expected.  Trapped in his gilded cage, she discovers the truth: Dante is far more dangerous than the rumors claimed. Cold, possessive, and lethally attractive, he demands her submission. But the real threat isn’t his cruelty—it’s the way he watches her like she’s the answer to a question he’s never asked.  As tension ignites into something forbidden, Isabella faces an impossible choice: hate the man who stole her… or surrender to the passion that could destroy them both.  A mafia romance of stolen vows, dangerous obsession, and a love that blooms in the darkest places.

My life is a perfect picture, framed in glitter and gold. Until a crack appeared in the glass. I'm Elara Vesper. An actress. A brand. I live my life under a microscope, so I didn't think much of the eyes I felt following me. Another fan, another shadow. I was wrong.The messages started. Not fan mail. Obscene love letters written in threat. "You are mine." Then, a man who touched me without permission was found dead. The next message was simple: "I'm cleaning your world. For us." I was drowning in fear, a starlet screaming silently behind a smiling facade. Then I met Alexander Thorne. He was the sun breaking through my storm. A billionaire tech CEO, gorgeous, powerful, and disarmingly charming. Our meeting felt like fate. Our chemistry was a live wire, sparking a love affair that burned across the headlines. In his arms, I felt safe. For the first time, I had something real. But my shadow didn't like it. The closer we became, the more violent the threats grew. My sanctuary with Alexander became the stalker's new obsession. My knight in shining armor turned into a man possessed, desperate to protect what was his.When he found me trembling after a break-in that felt less like a threat and more like a promise, he fell to his knees. Not in fear. In proposal."Marry me," he said, his voice raw with a protectiveness that bordered on dangerous. "Let me end this. Forever." It wasn't a business deal. It was a vow. A declaration of war against the monster in the dark. I said yes, believing love would be my shield. Our wedding was a fairy tale, a spectacle of light against the darkness that chased me. I thought I was finally safe. I thought I had locked the monster out. I was wrong. I didn't lock him out. I just let a different one in.
