The Queen in Chains

Once, she was his queen.

Isabella Romano-Castillo, born to one of Italy's oldest crime dynasties, was the jewel of the Romano family. Elegant, fiery, and fiercely intelligent, she was everything a Mafia king like Alex Castillo ever wanted-and more.

Their love was legendary. A forbidden union between two powerful families, sealed with a kiss, consecrated in blood. Together, they ruled the southern territories-powerful, feared, untouchable.

Until the betrayal.

Until secrets buried in Isabella's past clawed their way to the surface.

Now, Alex Castillo-once her protector, her lover, the father of her child-has turned into something else entirely. Cold. Ruthless. Possessive. Her punishment is not death... but servitude. Stripped of her title, her dignity, and her rights as a mother, Isabella remains by his side not as wife, but slave-all for a betrayal she never had a chance to explain.

In a world of lies, loyalty, and blood-soaked power plays, can Isabella reclaim her voice? Can a shattered love be rebuilt-or is she destined to remain nothing more than a chained ghost in Alex's golden prison?

Because in the Mafia, love doesn't die.

It turns deadly.
