She was a devout Muslim woman, quietly struggling to hold on to her identity.
Their paths collided in a way neither of them ever imagined.
When Dr. Alessandro Romano's mafia twin brother is shot and left in a coma, Ale is forced into a world he once abandoned. To protect his family, he must step into the role of a ruthless Don. But he's nothing like the men who came before him.
Ale is a revert Muslim, a man who lowers his gaze, walks with intention, and refuses to spill innocent blood even when surrounded by it.

As loyalties crumble and secrets come to light, Ale and Zaira must decide: will faith and love be enough, or will the world they were forced into destroy them both?
