She was born to be a pawn. She became a weapon. Isabella Romano has spent her life playing the perfect mafia princess-obedient, silent, a prize to be won. But beneath the gowns and the lies, she is something else entirely. A fighter. A ghost in the underground. A woman who bows to no one. When her father orders her to marry Lorenzo Rossi-the cold, calculating heir to a rival empire-she knows it's a trap. A cage wrapped in gold and blood. But Isabella has never been the kind of woman to be owned. Lorenzo Rossi rules with an iron grip, and in his world, obedience isn't optional. His bride was supposed to be a pretty pawn, not a defiant challenge. But the woman he now calls wife is a storm wrapped in silk, and she's about to turn his world upside down. Their marriage is a battlefield. Their passion, a war. And in a world where love is weakness and loyalty is deadly, the biggest threat isn't the enemies lurking in the shadows. It's her.
