The Mafia Boss and His Manic Bride

Love was never supposed to be part of the arrangement...

Santiago Emiliano was born to rule. Cold, calculated, and unrelenting, he's next in line to inherit the infamous Emiliano crime empire-but there's a catch. If he doesn't marry, his power-hungry cousin Felix will take everything. Pressured by his ruthless father, Santiago agrees to a strategic marriage to maintain his title.

Enter Emoni Armour-volatile, untamed, and a whispered secret within her own powerful family. Her father, Donald Armour, has spent years hiding her bipolar disorder behind closed doors. On her good days, she's the perfect daughter. On her bad days, she's a burden he no longer wants to bear. After her latest manic episode leaves him humiliated, he trades her away like a pawn in a deadly game of alliances.

Now bound by vows neither of them wanted, Santiago and Emoni are thrown into a world of danger, lies, and undeniable attraction. But while Santiago hides his cruelty behind charm and control, Emoni's chaos isn't so easily contained.

As passions ignite and tensions rise, they both discover that some marriages are more than power plays-they're warzones.

Can a mafia boss with everything to lose handle the firestorm of a woman who's never played by the rules? Or will their explosive union destroy both empires before it even begins?

In the end, this love story will either burn the world down... or build something untouchable from the ashes.
