Eris Hawthorn never expected that taking a job as a history teacher at an elite private school would pull her into a dangerous game she had no chance of winning.
Julian "Jules" De Luca, a senior student and heir to the city's most powerful mafia family, set his sights on her from the very first day. He challenged her openly, testing her limits-but instead of fear or submission, Eris met him with cool composure and unwavering confidence. That alone was enough to capture his full attention. She was the first person in this city who didn't bow to his name.
But what was even more dangerous than Jules' interest was the piercing gaze of Alessandro De Luca, his uncle. A man who was calculated, controlled, and held absolute power in his hands. He was someone no one dared to defy. And yet, as much as Eris tried to stay away, he only stepped closer. Both uncle and nephew were men of power-and they both wanted her.
Caught between them, Eris soon realizes that the tension between uncle and nephew runs deeper than it seems. Beneath the surface of control and calculated moves, their relationship is marked by unspoken conflicts, buried resentment, and an undeniable rivalry that she has now become a part of.
Eris never intended to get involved in their world. She was just a woman who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. But in a game driven by power and desire, sometimes stepping away... was never really an option.
Was she merely a pawn in their game? Or was she something neither of them was willing to let go of?
