✰ Enemies to lovers

Malia Elizabeth Taylor is a sweet, smart, and strong-willed 19-year-old nursing student with big dreams of becoming a pediatric nurse. Her life takes a dark turn when she accidentally witnesses a mafia murder, throwing her into a world of danger, deception, and power struggles.

Dominic Antonio Martinelli is a 26-year-old mafia boss with a cold and ruthless exterior, shaped by a dark past and a life built on crime.
He is calculated, unemotional, and does whatever it takes to protect his empire-even if it means kidnapping a scared, innocent girl.

When Dominic abducts Malia to keep her silent, she's forced into his lavish, dangerous world. Though she despises him for what he's done, there's an undeniable connection between them. As tension builds, Malia is drawn to Dominic in ways she can't control.
And as Dominic begins to question everything he's built, he finds himself fighting emotions he thought he'd buried long ago.
