Tom Harrington x Mariam Zahra
#3rd book of the forbidden series.
In a world of power and secrets, their connection is a dangerous temptation.
Mariam is a dancer, but it's not the art she loves-it's the survival. Her performances are a silent rebellion, forced by the man who controls her every move, YK. She hates the spotlight, the vulnerability, but it's the only way to stay alive.
Then there's Tom, a British officer whose icy exterior hides a man on the edge. When he encounters Mariam, something about her-her defiance, her strength, and her undeniable presence-pulls him in, even as he knows it could cost him everything.
Their worlds shouldn't collide. He's a soldier of the empire; she's a woman caught in the web of power and politics. But in the midst of tension, betrayal, and impossible choices, their growing bond becomes a dangerous game. Neither can escape the pull of what they feel-but can they survive it?
Some passions are born from danger, and some are meant to destroy.

Nova-the rebellious daughter of a feared mafia boss-has always lived in the shadow of her family's criminal empire. But when tragedy strikes, she is thrust into a world where the rules are brutal, and survival demands sacrifice. As Nova rises to claim her throne, she finds herself torn between the man who has protected her-Jax, her enigmatic bodyguard-and the ruthless empire she is destined to rule. Jax, once the devoted protector, has been consumed by an all-encompassing obsession with Nova, a love so dangerous it could destroy them both. Bound by his loyalty and his growing desire for the one woman he cannot have, Jax must navigate a world where every decision could be his last, and every lie could cost him everything. As enemies close in and alliances shift, Nova is faced with a heart-wrenching choice: trust Jax completely and risk losing everything, or use him as a pawn in her quest for ultimate power. With the stakes higher than ever, she must confront the darkness within herself and decide whether she will embrace the throne she's claimed-or let it crumble beneath her. In a tale of obsession, betrayal, and forbidden love, "Throne of Ashes" takes readers on a haunting journey through the wreckage of love and power, where the only thing stronger than the hunger for dominance is the burning desire between two souls destined to destroy each other.Complete
