Filled with passion, tension, and unspoken desires, this dark romance explores the fine line between love and hate, family loyalty and freedom, and the unbreakable bond of two people forced to fight their demons together.
***
Ambrosia Joy Lockwood and Liam Tyler Stanfield were inseparable as children, bonded by their mothers' deep friendship and their own innocent promises. But when tragedy struck on a trip to Switzerland, taking their mothers' lives, everything shattered. Liam abandoned her when she needed him most, and the bond between them turned to bitterness.
Now, at 25 and 28, they're trapped in a marriage neither wanted, orchestrated by the mafia ties that rule Ambra's life and the calculated ambitions of Liam's father. Ambra is fiery, stubborn, and haunted by the weight of her father's expectations, while Liam is a brooding enigma, his charm laced with darkness, his loyalty unwavering but selective.
As they navigate their new life together, old wounds resurface, forcing them to confront the shared pain and resentment that has defined their relationship. Ambra's father, a ruthless mafia boss, sees her as a weapon, trained to kill but hidden behind a façade of elegance. Liam's father, while cold, is kinder-until their worlds collide in a way that tests Ambra's loyalty and Liam's capacity for forgiveness.
Amid the chaos of bloodlines and betrayal, Ambra and Liam are drawn to each other in ways neither can ignore. But with secrets, lies, and dangerous family expectations threatening to tear them apart, they must decide if love can bloom from the ashes of hate-or if their marriage is destined to end in ruin.

Excerpt :
"I can't believe they chose you!", I said.
"Oh, so you think I knew about all this? Marrying you was the last thought in my mind ", he spoke coldly.
"Look, if we are marrying each other, we have to find a way to stand each other. I can't take any more troubles in my life. So after this whole marriage thing, let's just travel our own paths, not shoving our noses into each others business. Deal? ", I asked hoping he'd say yes.
"Deal", he said with a smirk "as long as you truly keep yourself to only yourself. "
I narrowed my eyes and said "As if. " and walked away.
