In the shadowy world of power and desire, love is the most dangerous game of all.

At just 19, Veronica Monroe is a force to be reckoned with-a billionaire business mogul who commands the boardroom by day but hides her loneliness behind impenetrable walls. Her life is structured, controlled, and meticulously planned-until Lucas DeLuca storms into her world.

Lucas is a 37-year-old mafia boss, a man of brutal charm and unrelenting authority. His presence ignites chaos in Veronica's perfectly ordered life. He's everything she's been warned to avoid-dangerous, seductive, and utterly irresistible.

When their paths cross, an intoxicating connection binds them. He craves her fire and innocence. She's drawn to his darkness and raw intensity. But their love isn't just forbidden-it's a deadly game of power, trust, and vulnerability.

As passion consumes them, secrets unravel, and their worlds collide, Veronica and Lucas must navigate a minefield of betrayal, danger, and the shadows of their pasts.

In a world where love can destroy or heal, will they risk everything for a future together-or will their forbidden romance leave them shattered beyond repair?
