Isabella Rossi thought she had left chaos behind. A toxic family, backstabbing friends, and the suffocating confines of her small town were supposed to be in her rearview mirror. But her fresh start in the city spirals out of control when a dangerous encounter leaves her vulnerable and alone-until Luca Moretti steps in. Luca isn't just a man with piercing eyes and a commanding presence. He's part of a powerful brotherhood that operates in the shadows, a world where loyalty is everything, and protection comes at a price. With nowhere else to turn, Isabella accepts Luca's offer of sanctuary-on one condition: she stays under his roof and plays by his rules. Luca's world isn't just his own. Matteo's easy charm, Nico's brooding intensity, and Riccardo's quiet strength weave a complex web of loyalty and danger that both intrigues and unsettles Isabella. Together, they're a force to be reckoned with, but trusting them comes with its own risks. As tensions simmer and chemistry ignites, Isabella is drawn deeper into their dangerous world-a world of secrets, power, and threats she never saw coming. But Luca's dark past and the enemies that come with it are more than she bargained for, and trusting him-or any of them-might be the most reckless decision of her life. When the ghosts of her past collide with the dangers of Luca's present, Isabella must decide: will she surrender to the fire between them, or will she fight to escape a life where love and danger are inseparable?

She was the price of a debt. He was the devil collecting it. Sofia Murphy lives in a world of color and quiet-a life spent painting soft dreams and hiding from sharp truths. But when her father signs her away to settle a blood debt, she's thrust into the arms of a monster wrapped in a tailored suit. Alessandro Lombardi is a king among criminals. Feared. Worshipped. Deadlier than the sins that built his empire. He doesn't ask for a wife. He takes one. In his world, vows are shackles. Kisses are claims. And love? Love is just another weapon. Sofia is everything he's not-sweet, untouched, innocent, a light he was never meant to hold. But now that he has her, he won't let go. Not when she trembles under his touch. Not when she flinches at his darkness. Not even if she wants to run. Because Alessandro doesn't chase. He hunts. He craves her obedience. Worships her purity. And if she ever thinks of running? He'll track her down with a smile, chain her to his bed, and remind her-slowly, ruthlessly-who owns her body. And who owns her soul. He didn't just marry her. He branded her. And in this house? There's no escape. Only surrender. And if the world dares come between them? He'll burn it to the ground-just to watch her smile in the ashes.

She was forced into marriage to save her family. He agreed to marry her because well, he can do whatever he pleases. Anastasia Morettin thought returning home after five years meant reconciliation with her father. Instead, she walked into a nightmare-her stepsister had stolen her longtime boyfriend, and her father had arranged her marriage to a man even colder than betrayal itself. Niklaus Montgomery is ruthless, powerful, and untouchable. A billionaire feared in boardrooms and high society alike. To him, love is a weakness, and emotions are a liability.

Trapped in a loveless union, Anastasia suffers under her stepmother's cruelty and Niklaus's icy indifference. But as secrets unravel-including the truth behind her mother's death-she begins to fight back. And somewhere in the war between them, Niklaus finds his cold heart beginning to thaw. But danger lurks in the shadows. Betrayal comes from within. And when the past collides with the present, love may not be enough to save them. He vowed he would never love. She vowed she would never break. In the end, only one of them can win. A heart-wrenching, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance filled with passion, betrayal, and the battle between love and power.
