In a world built on blood, betrayal, and broken promises, love isn't a fairytale-it's a war.
Elena Romano was only twelve when she last saw Luca Moretti-her father's cold, unreadable protégé with eyes that saw too much. Then he vanished.
Now 26, Elena is no longer the obedient mafia daughter. She's sharp, dangerous, and desperate for freedom. But when her father faces prison, Luca returns-ruthless, powerful, and in complete control. He wipes her father's record clean, but his price?
"Your daughter. I want her."
Before disappearing, her father signs his empire over to Elena, he leaves her one final request:
Marry him.
Now bound to a man she can't trust-but has never truly forgotten-Elena must survive a forced marriage that feels more like a battlefield than a union.
But Luca isn't her only threat.
Years ago, Elena's father destroyed the Bellanti crime family and left its heir, Dante and his sister Rosa with nothing but a thirst for vengeance. Now he has his own empire and having the Romano and Moretti crime family as his biggest enemies.
Two kings. One queen.
And a city ready to burn.
