𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐚 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐨, a fierce assassin with a wild spirit, lives for chaos and thrives in the shadows. With her piercing almond-shaped eyes and a fiery attitude, she commands attention without even trying. Unapologetically herself, she dances through life with a mix of allure and danger, leaving a trail of broken hearts and shattered enemies in her wake.

𝐙𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐝𝐞 𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐚, the cold and ruthless don of the mafia, is a man forged by betrayal and loss. With his intense gaze and a jawline that could cut glass, he is as captivating as he is terrifying. Respected and feared, Zade plays a dangerous game where love is a weakness, and trust is a luxury he can't afford.

When Leandra's chaotic nature threatens to unravel Zade's meticulously built empire, tensions flare. As enemies with a magnetic pull towards each other, their volatile connection ignites a battle that neither can afford to lose. With their fates intertwined, both must navigate the treacherous waters of loyalty, power, and a desire that could either consume them or save them.

A Deal Sealed in Betrayal Dario De Costa-the merciless and feared Don of the Italian mafia-is forced into an alliance with the American mafia through marriage. Known for his cold cruelty and unforgiving nature, Dario views this union as nothing more than a means to secure absolute power. But his meticulously laid plans collapse when the bride he was promised-Ashley Brown-disappears on the eve of the wedding, fleeing with her lover. In a desperate attempt to salvage the alliance, the family substitutes her younger sister, Olivia Brown, just 19-a quiet girl haunted by years of abuse from their father, Alexander Brown. The whispers are everywhere: "Dario De Costa-betrayed by a bride switch!" Now shackled to the Devil himself, Olivia must endure a marriage born of deception. Dario, enraged and humiliated, sees her as nothing but collateral damage-a pawn in his ruthless game to dominate the American mafia. But Olivia, fragile as she seems, hides a quiet strength. As Dario's icy façade begins to crack, an unexpected connection ignites between them, blurring the lines between vengeance and desire. Can Olivia survive the inferno of his wrath-or will she emerge as the one to tame the Devil? In a world of betrayal, power, and dark passion, only one thing is certain: Love and hate have never burned so dangerously close
