Two mafia families - the Morrens and the Romanos - have been rivals for generations. Their business empires, cloaked in luxury and blood, control the underworld of New York's docks and casinos. Years ago, their heirs met under false identities at a university in Florence, unaware of each other's surnames.
Samantha Morren - sharp-minded, poised, and fearless; a woman carved by loss but ruled by purpose. Every move she makes is calculated, every word deliberate. Beneath her calm lies fire - stubborn, proud, and unwilling to bow.
Carluise Romano - cold-eyed, controlled, and dangerous; a man who leads through silence and burns beneath his own restraint. Loyalty and rage live side by side in him, and both belong to her more than he'll ever admit.
Their relationship - a war disguised as attraction, a rivalry laced with desire. They fight to dominate, yet mirror each other's pain. Every glance is a challenge, every touch a battlefield. Intimacy between them isn't gentle - it's fire meeting fire, and neither one ever truly wins.
