Aria Sorrentino thought her past was buried, but when she's forced into a marriage with Renzo Viretti, a mafia heir known for his ruthless ways, everything she thought she knew is shattered. Their union, meant to unite two powerful families, quickly becomes a battle for control - and Renzo isn't playing by the rules.

Renzo is a man consumed by darkness, and his obsession with Aria knows no bounds. He's not just determined to possess her; he will stop at nothing to break her, reshape her into someone who belongs entirely to him. "You think you have control here, but you don't. I'll break you. One way or another."

But Aria is not the fragile woman Renzo expects. Beneath her calm demeanor lies a deep well of anger and sorrow, marked by a scar on her body - a reminder of the violence and betrayal from her past. Aria's not just fighting Renzo; she's fighting to survive the nightmares of a love once lost, and the looming threat of a dangerous ex-lover who will stop at nothing to reclaim what's his.

As their marriage unfolds, Renzo's obsession with Aria grows, dragging them both into a world of power, danger, and twisted desire. "Touch her, and die. She's mine, and I don't share what's mine." But the deeper Renzo falls into his need to control, the more he risks losing the one thing that could destroy him: his own heart.

Aria is the beautiful, smart, and beloved daughter-praised by everyone and trusted with their father's company. But her twin sister, Alina, lives constantly in her shadow-unseen, uncelebrated, and forced to work under Aria's command. When Aria causes a major financial loss to a powerful, mysterious company owned by an unknown billionaire, their father is forced to pay a large sum in compensation. But it's not enough. In return, the company demands an unusual form of settlement: the CEO responsible must marry their CEO until the debt is cleared. To protect Aria, their parents make a secret decision. Alina is forced to marry the unknown CEO in Aria's place. She's terrified-of the marriage, the man, and the new life ahead. No one knows what he looks like, and he's never appeared in the media. He's a complete enigma. Alina's first night in the mansion is unsettling-she's kissed from behind by a stranger while humming a song known only to her and a long-lost love. The kiss stirs something in her, something painfully familiar. And when she finally meets her husband, Darren Blackwood, she's stunned. He looks familiar-too familiar-but she can't place him. As days pass, memories from eight years ago start surfacing. Clues hidden in the house, songs, and gestures slowly unravel the truth: Darren is the man who once loved her and vanished from her life. The heartbreak returns-but so does the spark. Their love story reignites, beginning with slow trust and deep emotion. But Aria, full of jealousy and rage, isn't done. She wages a subtle war to tear them apart, using lies and manipulation to destroy Alina's newfound happiness. Yet, against the odds, and despite the pain of the past, Darren and Alina prove that love-true, hard-earned love-can conquer even the deepest wounds and fiercest enemies.

Damn it. ❝Didn't you know, sweetheart?❞ He chuckled, huskily, and my body shuddered at how delicious it sounded. ❝Hate is just the beginning of a love story.❞ * Aria Moretti is a powerful woman. Born into the mafia and raised as an assassin, she is everyone's deepest desire and darkest nightmare. But with the world corrupted by monsters, Aria has plans to change the game... and she intends on leaving a trail of blood in her wake. However, there is one person who could ruin it all, the person who despises her the most: Nero Russo. Charismatic, gorgeous, and the reigning Don of the Italian mafia, he is notoriously known for getting what he wants, when he wants it. And with Aria back in town, Nero has his sights set on her. But lines begin to blur and boundaries are crossed; betrayal almost looks like loyalty and, as the saying goes, hate is just the beginning of a love story.

She knew it belonged to a monster. Not just a mafia prince-but the heir to the DeLuca empire. A man carved from violence and baptized in blood. A man who's used to getting what he wants-and now he wants her. Lorenzo is sin in human form. dark silk, loaded guns, and soft-spoken commands.

She's no saint. What begins as a mercy spirals into a dangerous obsession. He's possessive. Unforgiving. Addicted.
