Power built their empires.
Marriage sealed their fate.
And love... might just destroy them both.
Valerie Knight the invisible daughter of a powerful business dynasty. Sharp mind, deadly fists, and a past wrapped in shadows. She swore never to be controlled not by her family, not by love, and definitely not by a man.
But when her father strikes a deal with Ares Santiago, heir to one of the most feared mafia families, Valerie's life becomes a pawn in a game much bigger than herself.
He's dangerous, arrogant, and untouchably calm the kind of man who commands a room with a single look.
She's fierce, unpredictable, and refuses to bow.
What starts as a cold arrangement spirals into a war of dominance and desire where bullets aren't the only things that kill.
As enemies close in and loyalties blur, Valerie and Ares must decide if their alliance is built on trust... or on the lies they tell to survive.
Because in their world, love isn't a fairy tale
It's a weapon.

The Ghost's Embrace
Marrying Simon Riley was never my choice-it was fate, carved into the bloodstained ledgers of London's underworld long before I had a say. As the daughter of my father's right-hand man, I always knew duty came first. But becoming Mrs. Riley? That was an entirely different kind of weight. Simon, the youngest mafia boss London has ever seen, is a ghost in my home-a man shaped by betrayal and loss. His first wife ran, leaving behind nothing but a shattered family and a six-year-old son. Now, it's my turn to navigate the icy walls around his heart, to exist in the space between his indifference and his rage. But time is slipping through my fingers. A rival mafia is circling, threatening the fragile family I've barely begun to piece together. The stakes have never been higher. I have a choice-rise to the occasion or fall before I even get the chance. In a world where the higher you climb, the harder you fall, can I thaw the heart of Hades himself? Or is Simon Riley destined to remain in darkness forever? Will I be his persephone?Complete

A show. Yet every day I find myself watching her more closely - wondering what secrets hide behind those frightened eyes. I was raised to be a weapon. She was raised to never speak. Now we're bound together by blood, loyalty, and a vow she didn't get to make. In this world, love is weakness. But maybe - just maybe - she's the only thing strong enough to ruin me.Complete
