Dangerous Desires

Ace Soklov is the ruthless heir to the Soklov Mafia, trained to take over his father's empire. But before he can claim his position as Don, his father has one final demand: Ace must marry. The catch? He doesn't get to choose his bride. Instead, he's forced into an alliance with the Romano family, sealing the deal with a marriage to Isabella Romano, a woman he's never met.

Isabella is the only daughter of the infamous Romano family, and though she's been trained for a life of power and control, she never expected to be married off in a political arrangement. To her father, this union with Ace Soklov is a necessary move for the future of their family's power-but Isabella has no intention of being a pawn in his game.

What Ace doesn't know is that Isabella isn't just a high-society mafia princess-she's also the deadliest assassin the criminal world has ever known. Tasked with carrying out a mission under the guise of marriage, she plans to keep her deadly secret hidden. But as the two are drawn deeper into a web of deceit, a fake marriage soon becomes much more dangerous than either of them anticipated.

With every step closer to each other, the lines between ally and enemy blur, and the tension between them rises. In a world of lies, power, and betrayal, will their forced marriage ignite a deadly spark-or will it turn into the perfect weapon against them both?
