For Serafina Valeria, life has always been a delicate dance between obedience and rebellion. Born into the shadow of her father's ruthless mafia empire, she has learned how to survive in a world built on power and control-without losing her heart. But when she's thrust into an arranged marriage with Leonardo, the cold and commanding leader of the global mafia syndicate, her carefully balanced life tilts dangerously off course. Leonardo never wanted this marriage. For him, it's a calculated move to secure his empire, nothing more. Yet, the woman standing at his side is more than he expected. Serafina's quiet strength and unexpected defiance ignite something inside him he thought long buried. And as much as he tries to keep his distance, the allure of her fierce spirit threatens to undo him. But in a world where loyalty is everything, desire can be a dangerous weakness. While Serafina battles her own heart and the secrets lurking within her family, Leonardo struggles to keep control of the empire-and himself. As their marriage becomes more than either bargained for, dangerous enemies from the past and present emerge, threatening not only their union, but the future of everything they hold dear. Beneath the surface of their broken world, an undeniable attraction smolders. But can love truly grow in the ashes of power and deceit, or will it be consumed by the fire of their dangerous lives?
