She's the daughter of a mafia king-independent, stubborn, and done with blood money.
He's the son of her father's enemy-quiet, cold, and bred to lead.
When a brutal war between two rival families threatens to burn the city down, a twisted peace treaty is written in ink... and sealed with Jasmine Reed's forced engagement to Antonio De Luca.
She doesn't want a husband.
He wasn't looking for a wife.
But fate doesn't ask for permission in this world-it demands loyalty, sacrifice, and silence.
Jasmine refuses to be controlled, and Antonio has never met a woman he couldn't intimidate-until her. Trapped under the same roof, bound by blood and vows, their chemistry turns dangerous... and their hatred starts to taste like obsession.
In a world where love is a weapon and trust is currency, can two enemies survive each other-or will they fall harder than anyone ever expected?
