His Illicit Desires

Aurora Adebayo was once the light in Dimitri Inavov's dark world-the fire that kept his frozen heart from turning to stone. They were childhood lovers, bound by whispered promises beneath moonlit skies, their souls intertwined like constellations in the night.

But even the brightest flames can be extinguished by betrayal.

Now, ten years later, Aurora is no longer the innocent girl who traced her love into Dimitri's skin with delicate fingers. She is the heiress of the Italian Mafia, a woman forged in blood and fire, with a heart encased in steel. And Dimitri? He has become the ruthless king of the Russian underworld, a man who doesn't beg, doesn't break, and certainly doesn't forgive.

Yet fate is cruel, dragging them back together in the form of a marriage neither of them wants. A contract signed in blood, binding them in a web of deception, desire, and a past that refuses to die.

The embers of their old love still smolder beneath the ashes of resentment, but in a world where loyalty is a weapon and love is a weakness, can two broken souls find their way back to each other? Or will their reunion ignite a war that neither of them can survive?
