When Asia's apartment becomes a hiding place for a man running from the law, she never expects to meet Giovanni-the feared mafia Don of Europe. One glance, and everything changes. As he fights to protect her and her unborn child, a dangerous, passionate love grows between them. From stolen moments to tender promises, can this unlikely pair find a future together-or will the world they live in tear them apart?

When the venerable Don of Casata Moretti-a man whose name carried weight in hushed corridors and across gilded boardrooms-uncovers the quiet treachery of the past, the very foundations of his empire tremble. The woman he once called his only love, a fleeting softness in a life carved from steel and silence, had vanished from his world with no explanation. Now, years later, he learns the truth: she bore him a son in secret-an heir not raised in the shadow of Moretti, but crowned at the helm of a rival syndicate. A new sovereign has risen in the underworld, one born of his blood, yet groomed beyond his reach. Betrayal, legacy, and blood now twist together in a silence far louder than war.
