Zaria De Luca was never meant to be a pawn.
Born into one of the most dangerous crime families in New York, she learned early that love was a weakness and trust was a liability. Sharp-tongued, fiercely independent, and the most talented hacker in the country, Zaria survives by staying invisible-and staying angry.
Until her father sells her future.
Forced into an engagement with Enzo Romano, the ruthless Don of a rival mafia empire, Zaria becomes the living symbol of a fragile alliance built on blood and betrayal. To the world, she's his beautiful fiancée.
In reality, she's his hostage.
Enzo Romano doesn't believe in mercy.
Cold, controlled, and scarred by a past no one knows, he rules his world with discipline and fear. Loyalty is earned. Disobedience is punished. And marriage-especially an arranged one-is nothing more than another weapon.
He never wanted a bride.
He never expected Zaria.
Smart. Defiant. Unbreakable.
She refuses to bow. He refuses to bend.
Trapped in a dangerous game of power, politics, and secrets, Zaria and Enzo are forced into close proximity where hatred blurs into temptation and enemies begin to look dangerously like allies.
As old rivalries ignite and new enemies close in, they must decide whether to destroy each other... or protect the one person who understands them best.
Because in a world built on violence, love is the most dangerous risk of all.
And sometimes, the deadliest wars are fought between two hearts that refuse to surrender.
