Two rival crime families. One stolen artifact. A love that could destroy them both.
Klaudia Novak and Louis Moretti have spent their lives as enemies, heirs to legacies built on blood and betrayal. The Novaks rule the city's arms trade, while the Morettis dominate the narcotics empire. Their families have been locked in a silent war for decades, with only a fragile truce keeping the streets from turning crimson.
When a priceless artifact is stolen, tensions erupt. Blamed for the theft, Klaudia and Louis are forced into an uneasy alliance to recover it. Each step of their journey is a battlefield, their hatred for one another as fierce as their undeniable chemistry. But as they peel back layers of deceit, they discover a darker truth: someone is playing both families against each other, threatening to destroy everything they hold dear.
What begins as a reluctant partnership turns into something far more dangerous. Beneath Klaudia's icy precision and Louis's cocky bravado, they find secrets, vulnerabilities-and a connection neither of them can deny. But in a world where loyalty is everything, falling for the enemy could cost them their lives.
With betrayal at every turn and their families demanding blood, Klaudia and Louis must make an impossible choice: stand together or sacrifice their love to protect the people they've sworn to serve.
