Arranged

Valeria Castillo, the fierce and headstrong 20-year-old daughter of Mexico's most feared cartel leader, has spent her life proving she's more than just a bargaining chip. But when her father's empire begins to crumble under relentless attacks, he strikes a desperate deal-marrying her off to the heir of the Italian Mafia to unite their forces and win the war.

Alessandro "Alessio" Romano, the cold and ruthless 23-year-old son of Italy's most powerful mafia don, has never been one for love. Women come and go, never staying long enough to break through his icy exterior. To him, marriage is nothing more than a business arrangement, and Valeria is just another piece in the game.

Forced into a union neither of them wants, Valeria and Alessio clash in a battle of dominance, both refusing to be the first to break. But as the war rages around them, their fiery hatred begins to ignite something neither of them expected. Valeria sees through Alessio's ruthless facade, and against his will, he finds himself drawn to the woman who refuses to bow to him.

In a world where loyalty is a weapon and love is a weakness, Valeria and Alessio must decide-will they destroy each other, or will their forbidden passion be the key to their survival?
