But when his debt lands her in an arranged engagement to Dante Valenti, the charming yet scheming brother of a mafia kingpin, her world spirals out of control. Zora planned to keep her head down, play her role, and escape unscathed-until he walked into her life.
LUCAS
She's Dante's fiancée. But the moment I saw her, everything shifted. Zora isn't just beautiful-she's a challenge, a storm I can't ignore. Every look she gives me is fire, every word, a temptation.

Torn between two brothers and trapped in a world where loyalty is everything, Zora must navigate lies, betrayals, obsession and her growing desire for the man who is both her greatest danger and her only chance at freedom.
She begins to see the man behind Lucas's ruthless facade-a dangerous, magnetic force she can't resist. But surrendering to his burning desire comes at a cost. In a family where love is a dangerous game, Zora must decide if risking everything is worth the fire Lucas ignites within her.
Will Zora find a way to escape, or will she become the queen of a kingdom built on blood?
