A dark mafia romance.

In the city of secrets and lies, the truth can be deadly.

Magnolia Spencer has always known a life of luxury and privilege, but beneath the surface of her gilded cage lies a web of secrets and deceit. Born into a powerful mafia family, Magnolia is forced to navigate the treacherous world of organized crime, where loyalty is a luxury she can't afford.

When a mysterious figure from her past reappears, Magnolia's fragile world begins to unravel. As she searches for answers, she finds herself drawn to Xavier William, the enigmatic and ruthless son of a rival mafia family. But in a world where loyalty is a liability, can Magnolia trust anyone - including herself?

As the shadows of her family's past close in around her, Magnolia must confront the darkness within herself and make a choice: surrender to the secrets that have haunted her family for generations, or risk everything to forge her own path.
