Enter:
Florencia Zalda Bavga - The icy, brilliant heir of the Bavga syndicate. Raised in a glass palace of spies, poisons, seduction.
Leonello Aldo Ardemanni- The calculating, emotionally walled-off Ardemanni heir. Trained in silence, shadow, and war.
The world thinks it's a love match. In truth? It's cold-blooded politics in white silk and gold rings.
But someone wants the alliance to fail.
An attempt on Florencia's life shocks the underworld. Now, she and Leonello must become a real couple-at least in appearance-to uncover who wants them dead and why.
Their survival depends on trust.
But trust is the one thing they never agreed to.
