In the twisted underworld where power and blood intertwine, the Italian and Russian mafias found themselves reluctantly entangled in a sinister dance of collaboration. Forced to forge an alliance to navigate the volatile landscape of criminal empires, Valerio Ivan, the steely heir of the Russian underworld, and Deava Hale, the cold-hearted daughter of the Italian mafia leader, were destined to be adversaries.

Valerio and Deava found themselves entangled in a complex web of emotions as the Italian and Russian mafias plotted and schemed.
