"He was the ruin that remained. She was the fire that consumed. Presumed dead, Alessandro DeLuca vanished from the world he once ruled. But when Zayana Vaishara, a powerful and untouchable Donna of the Indian underworld, drags him back from the edge of death, their fates entwine in ways neither could have foreseen. Zayana is ruthless, a queen forged in betrayal and blood, yet behind her iron walls lies a heart that beats only for power-until Alessandro. He is the ghost of an empire lost, a king without a throne, and the only man who dares to challenge her in ways that set her very soul ablaze. What starts as obsession turns into something deeper, something far more dangerous. Together, they will rise, carving their legacy in fire and ruin. But with enemies lurking in the shadows and past sins refusing to stay buried, they must fight not just for power-but for each other. In a world where love is war, only the strongest survive. "King of Ruin. Queen of Ashes. Together, they will either conquer... or burn." . . . . . . *"You were supposed to be dead," Zayana whispered, tracing the scar on Alessandro's jaw. "But I don't believe in ghosts." Alessandro smirked, fingers curling around her waist. "And yet, here you are... obsessed with one." She didn't deny it. Instead, she leaned in, her lips brushing against his ear. "I don't love ghosts, Alessandro." A pause. A slow, dangerous smile. "I own them."*

He's loud, chaotic, endlessly cheerful...and he makes it his personal mission to crack the grumpy professor's stone-cold expression. She's order. He's chaos. She's bitter coffee. He's too much sugar. And somewhere between banter, arguments, and accidental laughter, Rosa realizes the man she swore she had no time for...might be the one who makes her heart feel like home.
