Love Scars(Under Major Editing)

In the shadowed corridors of wealth and power, love is the most dangerous game.

Kate has known cruelty since she was six years old. Abandoned by the very people who should protect her, she's endured abuse, betrayal, and heartbreak. Her parents' final act of treachery? Auctioning her off to the highest bidder-a cold, calculating mafia boss with a reputation as lethal as his name.

Lucio King is a man of two faces. By day, he's an enigmatic billionaire commanding respect in high society. By night, he's a ruthless mafia leader who rules the underworld with an iron fist. Arrogant, dangerous, and untouchable, he has no place for weakness-or love. But when Kate enters his world, she shatters the walls he's built around his heart.

Thrown together in a dangerous dance of power, lies, and forbidden attraction, Kate and Lucio ignite a spark neither of them can control. As they navigate a web of secrets and deceit, their guarded hearts begin to unravel. But in a world where love can be a weapon and trust is a luxury, their bond may cost them everything.

"Love Scars" is a gripping tale of passion, betrayal, and redemption-a story where darkness meets desire, and even the most hardened souls can't escape the haunting pull of love.
