She was born from scandal. He was born into legacy. Both were shaped by shadows. Nyla has always been a force-brilliant, ambitious, and unbreakably focused. But beneath the polished strength lies a girl who has spent her entire life trying to earn a father's approval she was never meant to have. Born from a scandal her father never forgave, Nyla was raised in a world that judged her before she could speak. A world where beauty is currency-and pain is power. They see her body. They ignore her mind. They call her names. Her father calls her worse. Daughter of a whore. Aiden Carter was a mystery dressed as a dream. He had the voice that melted crowds, a laugh that made hearts skip, and the kind of charm that could disarm anyone-until he vanished. Aiden and his brothers, heirs to one of Italy's most powerful families, disappeared from the spotlight overnight. Whispers filled the void. Crime. Blood. Secrets. And then-silence. Years later, Nyla's father moves to Italy to settle unfinished business. She's dragged into a life of luxury laced with shadows-diamonds, deception, and danger. And in the heart of it all is Aiden Carter. No longer the golden boy. No longer the smiling enigma. He's darker now. Quieter. And he sees through Nyla in a way no one ever has. Their connection is electric. Their chemistry, combustible. But as buried secrets begin to surface and family loyalties are tested, Nyla and Aiden find themselves on opposite sides of a war they never asked to fight. 💔 Who falls first? 🔥 But the real question is... who falls harder?

"I am so sorry for not listening," she sobbed, tears escaping onto her cheeks. Dylan looked into her eyes. Then he whispered, "You never have to be sorry." He slowly tilted his head, and kissed away her tears. Her heart fluttered in her chest, and for one second she let her tears flow. If he kissed away every one of her tears, she wouldn't mind crying. His lips felt like flowers, so soft they took her breath away. When her tears stopped, he continued to kiss her cheek, slowly inching his way towards her lips. It was nothing short of pure bliss. *** After being falsely accused of killing his family, Dylan Robinson is on every America's Most Wanted list. However, trying to tell law enforcement that he had been framed by one of the world's most powerful mafia's is not necessarily easy. So, he lives his life in strict confinement, afraid of his own shadow. Then he meets Kia Brown, the woman who burned his world into ashes. Kia Brown, a 26 year old lawyer, is reeling. Dealing with an abusive father seems to be the majority of her problems. That is until she learns that her father is part of a mafia; the same one who killed Dylan's family. Even worse, Kia cannot seem to stop herself from trying to prove Dylan's innocence, which only makes the mafia after Dylan more angry. It was the perfect love story; a frightened man bonding with a broken woman. BUT there is one exception. Dylan can't fall in love with Kia; falling for her would put her in grave danger. Will the two lovers be strong enough to stop the threat against them or will they fight the love igniting in them?
