Zara has everything a girl could ever dream of. Loving, supportive parents who encourage her to chase her wildest ambitions, and a twin who would do anything to see her smile. Her life is a beautiful tapestry of freedom, joy, and the promise of endless possibilities-until the day they walk into it.
One man will stop at nothing to claim her heart. The other will sacrifice everything to keep her safe. One seeks to bind her with chains disguised as protection; the other believes in letting her soar, unrestrained. But in a world where loyalty and love are weapons as sharp as knives, not everything is as it seems.
What began as an innocent crush soon turns into a dangerous obsession. Her magnetic presence pulls them both deeper into a web of desire, secrets, and betrayal-where passion and violence collide.
As the layers of deceit are peeled away, a deadly storm brews. Hidden truths will be revealed, and a blood-soaked reckoning is inevitable. For in this world of shadows, secrets don't stay buried forever, and one wrong move could shatter everything they thought they knew about love, loyalty, and destiny.
A mafia romance.
