Lila Simmons had plans - to escape her toxic home, graduate quietly, maybe disappear for good. But all of that ended the night her drunk, abusive father signed her life away to pay his gambling debts. He didn't just give her away-he sold her. To Antonio Russo. The world's most powerful, ruthless, and feared mafia king. A man who owns half the world, and now... her. Lila becomes his. His property. His responsibility. His problem. But the more she resists, the more Antonio is drawn in. Because she's not like the others. And for the first time in his cruel, calculated life... Antonio Russo doesn't want to break her. He wants to keep her. But love doesn't come easy when your world is built on control, secrets, enemies, and war.

To the world, Allena Draknos is a cold, teenage model who doesn't care about anything or anyone. In reality, she's trying to protect herself and younger sisters from the wrath of their abusive uncle. To the world, Luca Romano, is Italy's golden boy. Rich, good looking, everything a girl wants. In reality he's the heir to a mafia he doesn't even want, and under control of his strict father. The two don't have much in common except for two things: the fear of arranged marriage, and a disdain for each other. But, if they want to save themselves and the people they care about they have to push that aside and convince the entire world they're dating. EXCERPT "There's no harm in holding in this out, at least until the threat of an arranged marriage passes." He argues. "I can't decide what happens to my future until I'm eighteen, and legally get my inheritance. That's months from now." I retort. "And I can't decide until the business gets handed over to me in a few months." Luca adds. "We keep this up until then, and then we break it off." "And what happens when they ask why we aren't engaged?" I ask. "They won't. We just need it to last for a little." He continues. "Plus, we'd barely have to see each other. I'd be in Italy, and you'd be here. Occasionally we can be seen together, for the press and our family." "They'll read right through us." I mumble. "Only if we let them." "This is insane." I whisper. "Well, then what do you say, bellissima? Want to go to insanity with me?"

My breath hitched. His eyes-sharp, cold, merciless-scanned me like I was a puzzle that didn't fit. "You don't even know how to wear a bra?" he asked, his voice low, incredulous, and almost cruel. I didn't know what to say. I slowly nodded my head-no-because... I really didn't. No one ever taught me. No one cared to. I was standing there, shivering slightly, my fingers trembling, curling into the soft shawl I used to hide myself.

Their first meeting? A disaster. An auction in Paris. One look. One insult. And an immediate, mutual decision- i hate that fucker. ᴍᴀᴅᴇʟʏɴ ʟᴀᴜʀᴇɴᴛ-French mafia princess, sharp-tongued, reckless, and impossible to control, has never met a man she couldn't outtalk, outplay, or walk away from. Until him. ᴀᴅʀɪᴀɴᴏ ᴅᴇ ʟᴜᴄᴀ -Italy's future Don, cold, ruthless, and used to getting exactly what he wants, has never met a woman who didn't know her place. And that's about to change. They hated each other at first sight. And second. And third.... Every encounter worse than the last. Every word sharper. Every glance a challenge. So walking away should've been easy. It would have been... If their families hadn't already decided otherwise. Because in their world, love doesn't matter. Power does. And now, bound by a mafia alliance marriage, two enemies are forced into a union neither of them wants. Where hatred simmers, tension burns, and every fight feels a little too close to something dangerously unfamiliar. But being enemies isn't their only problem. The Serbs are watching. Waiting. And more than ready to tear their alliance and their marriage apart. The question isn't whether they'll fall for each other. It's whether they'll survive long enough to figure it out. ʙᴏᴜɴᴅ ʙʏ ᴀʟʟɪᴀɴᴄᴇ, ᴅʀɪᴠᴇɴ ʙʏ ʜᴀᴛᴇ.

Paris People see what they want when they look at me. Money. Ease. A life handed to me. They expect a spoiled, unbearable girl who's never heard the word no. So sometimes... I give them exactly that. It's easier than letting them look any deeper. Then my parents sent him. Elias. A bodyguard I didn't ask for. A constant presence I can't escape. He follows me everywhere-silent, cold, watching like I'm some kind of problem he's been assigned to fix. He thinks he has me figured out. He doesn't. So I push him. I snap, I provoke, I make his job as miserable as possible. Because if he stays... if he starts to see past the act- Then everything I've worked to hide might fall apart. And I don't let people get that close. ⸻ Elias Paris is exactly the kind of assignment I hate. Entitled. Difficult. Reckless. A rich girl who thinks rules don't apply to her. At least... that's what she wants me to believe. She tests me constantly. Sharp words. Cold looks. Petty games meant to push me out. Anyone else would've quit by now. I don't. Because beneath all of it, something doesn't line up. She's too controlled for someone so careless. Too guarded for someone with nothing to hide. It's in the way she pauses before she speaks... the way her eyes flicker when she thinks no one's paying attention. She's hiding something. And the more she tries to drive me away- The more certain I am that I need to stay. Not just because it's my job. But because walking away now would mean leaving a mystery unsolved. And I don't leave things unfinished.

"When fate throws you under the wheels of a Mafia boss's car, love is the last thing you expect to find. But that's exactly what happens to me. Five months in a coma. Dive into a world of danger, loyalty, and passion, where the lines between right and wrong blur. Join me on a bumpy ride of self-discovery, forbidden love, and the dark secrets that bind us."
