Most love stories start before the fireworks-before the passion, before the chaos. But not this one. Youssef El-Masri is the ruthless king of the Egyptian Mafia, worshipped and feared in equal measure. His empire is soaked in blood, his throne forged from bone and gold. And ruling right beside him is Nafisa Monroe-a stunning, sharp-tongued Black woman with queen energy so potent, entire cities kneel in her presence. She's not his weakness-she's his mirror, his madness, his equal in every way. Married, madly in love, and dangerously codependent, Youssef and Nafisa are the very definition of chaos in perfect harmony. They make war in the morning and love by moonlight. They speak in bullets, kiss through blood, and protect each other with the fury of a thousand suns. But when an old enemy resurfaces, threatening the empire they've built and the trust they've sworn in blood, the couple must decide how far they'll go to protect what's theirs. Their love is toxic to some, terrifying to many-but to them, it's the only thing pure in a world of shadows. Steamy. Savage. Unapologetically unhinged.
