Alessio Vittorio Moretti and Valentina Aurora Lefevre's love story is born from danger and deception. He is a feared mafia figure, seen and respected, while she is the faceless assassin whispered about in fear-a ghost no one has ever seen.
They meet in secret, Alessio unaware of Valentina's true identity, sharing a single night of passion that leaves them both haunted. Weeks later, an arranged marriage forces them together-enemies bound by duty. He falls first, drawn to her fire and the lethal grace she hides beneath her icy exterior. She resists, knowing love makes her vulnerable, but she falls harder when her heart betrays her.
Their marriage becomes a battlefield-fueled by desire, power, and trust earned through blood. When an attempt on Alessio's life forces Valentina to reveal herself, she risks everything to protect him. Together, they become unstoppable-a ruthless king and his assassin queen, feared not just for their power, but for the dangerous love that binds them.
