Elysia Hartwell grew up learning how to survive quietly. After being found at two years old beside her mother's body, she spent her childhood muted by trauma and raised in a crowded orphanage. Music became her only language. The harp became her refuge. By adulthood she had built a life with soft routines, small stages, and the one friend who never abandoned her. She never expected the night she performed at a high profile gala to change everything. Cassian Knight attends the gala to secure a deal for his family empire. Instead he sees her. A regal young woman with quiet grace and eyes that carry too many stories. One song is all it takes. Cassian, the eldest son of a powerful mafia dynasty, feels something dangerous shift inside him. Something possessive. Something final. He leaves the ballroom with only one certainty. She is meant to be his. Elysia disappears days later. She wakes in a secluded mansion deep in the woods with staff who treat her like a welcomed guest and a man who looks at her as if fate carved her for him alone. Cassian does not touch her. He does not rush her. He does not demand anything except her presence. But he has no intention of letting her go. He knows her routines, her triggers, her favorites. He knows her past better than she realizes. He studies her the way others study scripture. A girl shaped by silence. A man sharpened by power. A love born from obsession. Once Cassian met Elysia, nothing in the world could keep him from her.

𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇- Giovanni "Gio Jr." Blackwood was born into power he never asked for and a throne everyone expects him to inherit. As the Don's son, his name alone moves rooms, closes deals, and starts wars. But power doesn't come with instructions-and the anger he carries feels louder than the legacy he's meant to protect. Legacy Ashbourne is everything Gio Jr. shouldn't touch. An artist from a wealthy, influential family tied closely to the Blackwoods through law, politics, and secrets that run deeper than contracts. She's soft-spoken but observant, creative in a world ruled by control, and quietly out of place in the family that raised her. They meet by accident. They fall without permission. And neither of them knows the truth. Legacy doesn't know who her real father was.Gio Jr. doesn't know the man his father killed left behind a daughter.
