In the gritty underbelly of a sprawling metropolis, where loyalty is currency and betrayal is a death sentence, Rose Rennesamei has carved out her place as the top enforcer in the notorious Muniz crime family. Fierce, intelligent, and unyielding, she has earned the respect of her peers and the love of Riley Muniz, the charismatic but ruthless heir to the family throne. Their passionate romance is a whirlwind of danger and desire, fueled by adrenaline and ambition.
However, as the stakes rise and rival factions close in, Rose begins to feel the weight of the life she has chosen. The violence, the constant threat of betrayal, and the loss of friends weigh heavily on her conscience. One fateful night, after a particularly brutal confrontation, she makes the heart-wrenching decision to leave Riley and the life of crime behind. She knows that her departure will not only break his heart but could also put her life in jeopardy. With a heavy heart, she walks away, vowing to find a safer path.
A year passes, and Rose has built a new life, far removed from the chaos of the mafia. She has found peace, but the memories of her past linger like shadows. Just as she begins to feel truly free, a knock at her door shatters her tranquility. Standing before her is Riley, battered and bloodied, his once charming smile replaced by desperation and pain. He has come seeking refuge, but the danger that follows him threatens to pull her back into the world she fought so hard to escape.
As Rose grapples with her feelings for Riley and the life she left behind, she must confront the reality of love in a world where loyalty is tested, and danger lurks around every corner. Will she risk everything to save the man she once loved, or will she finally choose her own safety over the ties that bind them? In "Love and Loyalty," the lines between love, loyalty, and survival blur, leading to a gripping tale of passion, sacrifice, and the haunting consequences of a life steeped in crime.
After she's sold to the mafia, she never thought that love would come in the form of a sizzling gray-eyed bodyguard.
