She chose law to escape the blood-soaked legacy of her family.
He chose chaos to burn it all down.

Ainaz Moretti has spent years building a future that doesn't end in gunpowder and betrayal. As a top law student in New York, she's smart, sharp-tongued, and fiercely untouchable-until Rafaele Romano storms into her world with secrets that ignite everything she's tried to bury.

Cold, arrogant, and dangerously calculated, Rafaele is everything she despises. He's also the only one who knows the truth about her family-and he intends to use it. What starts as rivalry sharpens into obsession, and beneath the sharp tongues and fiery stares is a chemistry neither of them can control.

But in a world where loyalty is currency and love is a weakness, falling for your enemy can be fatal.

Ruthless hearts. Shattered trust. And a love that could burn them both to the ground.

The Rose and The Ruin by SeraVale
10 parts Ongoing
She was promised safety. She found the devil instead. Isadora Bellanti never wanted to be a Moretti bride. But when her father strikes a deal with Dante Moretti- the cold, untouchable heir of Milan's most feared dynasty - she's forced into a marriage that feels more like a sentence than a union. Dante is ruthless. A man whispered about in back alleys and boardrooms alike. To his world, Isadora is just a pawn - something pretty to parade, to keep his enemies guessing. But to Isadora, he's a puzzle she can't stop trying to solve... even as his darkness threatens to consume her. Every promise comes with a cost. Every touch, a warning. And in the Moretti world, love is just another weapon - one that cuts deep enough to ruin them both.

She's no longer the woman he knew - and he's no longer the man she trusted. But even as they collide in a storm of violence and revenge, the question remains: Can they destroy each other, or will their hearts still be haunted by the past? One crown. Two hearts broken beyond repair. And a future where only betrayal can set them free. The battle has just begun. And in this game, no one walks away clean.
