Scarred Hearts

In the darkened alleys of power and privilege, where the Catalano Crime Family reigns supreme, Elio Catalano stands as the heir to a throne built on secrets and sins. His world is one of unspoken deals and ruthless demands, where loyalty is the currency of survival. But one fateful night, a knock on his door heralds a plea for mercy that threatens to unravel the fabric of his meticulously ordered life.

Sophia Omar, her spirit unbroken by the stark reality of her mother's medical bills, stands before Elio with a simple yet perilous request: cover the costs that she simply cannot. She knows the Catalanos' wealth is stained with the blood of the underworld, yet desperation drives her to make a deal with the devil himself.

Elio, captivated by her audacity, offers a devil's bargain: he will save her mother, but in return, Sophia must serve as the family's clandestine healer. Bound by a vow to attend to their wounds with no questions asked, she finds herself ensnared in a world where the line between saviour and sinner blurs, and the one who can destroy you becomes the very air you breathe.

'Scarred Hearts' is a tale of forbidden love and treacherous desires, where two souls collide amidst the chaos of a criminal empire.
