Iris Marshall has always been a puppet in her family's cruel hands - bartered, broken, and silenced. When her powerful family forces her into a marriage with Luka Valedante, their coldest rival and a feared figure in the Italian Mafia, she finds herself bound by more than just vows.
Luka is a man who thrives on order, control, and obedience. With a heart forged in blood and vengeance, he lays down his rules - and Iris must follow them or suffer the consequences. But Iris, haunted by a past love she can't escape and suffocated by expectations she never chose, begins to push back. Every broken rule ignites Luka's dark desires, and punishment becomes the twisted language of their passion.
Just as Iris begins to unravel Luka's armor, Zion, her toxic ex-lover, resurfaces, determined to reclaim her. Her manipulative parents scheme to push her back into Zion's arms, forcing Iris to question where her loyalties truly lie.
Then comes Zara, Luka's enigmatic ex - a dangerous beauty from his past whose presence threatens to shatter Iris's fragile hold on Luka's heart.
In a world built on rules, power, and secrets, love is forbidden, loyalty is tested, and surrender can be deadly. Caught between her yearning for freedom and her growing addiction to Luka's darkness, Iris must decide:
Will she break his rules...
Or will he break her?
