𝐀𝐃𝐎𝐑𝐀 𝐋𝐎𝐌𝐁𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐈 always knew her fate was to marry rich - to save her family from poverty, even if it meant sacrificing herself. But when her abusive father sells her to the powerful Alvarez family, she realizes she hasn't been promised to a wealthy heir... she's been sold to the mob.
Yet, for the first time, Adora tastes freedom away from her suffocating home. In a mansion full of rules, danger, and shadows, she clings to her independence - even when it puts her at odds with those who now control her future.
𝐒𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐀𝐆𝐎 𝐀𝐋𝐕𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐙, the reluctant new head of the Spanish Mafia, has been raised to care about nothing but power. But he despises the bloodstained world his father built. He only finds solace in books - the one place he can breathe.
When Adora enters his world, fiery and unbroken despite her past, Santiago discovers someone who understands him in ways no one else ever could. But in a house where loyalty is currency and secrets can kill, their connection might cost them everything.
