A change of heart

In a crumbling city where old bloodlines rule from the shadows, Janvie Duskwright- the free-spirited daughter of a fallen aristocratic family - is forced into an arranged marriage with Cassian Vey, the cold and calculating heir to the most feared mafia dynasty. Their families, desperate to secure power and survival, seal their fates with a marriage contract neither wants.
At first, Janvie and Cassian despise each other.
She's fiery, rebellious, and refuses to be controlled; he's ruthless, guarded, and sees her as a distraction from his rise to power. Their marriage is a war of cold shoulders, biting words, and secret plots to undermine one another.
But when a larger enemy emerges - a rival mafia family determined to wipe them both out - they are forced to rely on each other. As they navigate betrayals, assassination attempts, and dangerous alliances, the masks they wear begin to crack.
Janvie sees the broken boy hidden behind
Cassian's armor, while he finds himself drawn to her spirit and strength.
