Rosabella was all that a man could be. Complete madness, posted by trauma, vital, determined, hidden emotions , an ego fueled by raging revenge, feared, clever, and aimlessly wanted more than to be tied to a throne.
It seems every thing has been based off of lies when her brother comes back from the dead, that immediately being the perfect opportunity for her expanded hope.
The one thing that she was more certain about than she had ever been about...was that she would not be rejected by hope.
And she would do anything for that goal. By all means, anything..
Keegan just happened to be at the right place at the wrong time.
His touch wasn't poisoned like most, although he knew when to be serious, he wasn't. He was driven by compassion, gratitude, dedication, and a promise.
Little did she know that she had him wrapped around her finger. Will she take that for granted and only use that towards her goal? Or will she learn to design her heart to make room for love?

I'm in love with him but he's in love with my younger sister and has made that painfully clear to me.
"Who are you in love with?" I ask softly, my voice barely above a whisper.
"I'm in love with Isabella, your sister. She's the only woman I truly care about," he admits, revealing his feelings for my younger sister after we had just gotten married, it hasn't even been twenty-four hours.
"I'll fulfill my role as your husband, but don't expect any love or affection. This marriage is just an agreement between our families, nothing more. Do you understand?" His words are cold, piercing through me like arrows.
I fight back the tears threatening to fall and manage to reply, "I understand."
But my pain would not last long, not until I meet Mr. Russo, Marcello's father who was that head of the Mafia, a dangerous and powerful man who stole my heart.
