Xai Joaquín was born into blood. The only daughter of Alejandro Joaquín, head of one of Spain's most feared mafia families, she grew up with knives in her hands and four overprotective brothers at her side. Badass, sharp-tongued, and scarred - both inside and out - she's no stranger to violence. But Mexico left her with more than a wound across her eye. It left her with holes in her memory.
Now, back in Spain, her name is whispered in the shadows: la princesa de la mafia. She is untouchable... until the Italians arrive.
Xander Acroyed - the ruthless heir to the Italian mafia - remembers the girl who once laughed beside him in orchards. The girl who was promised to him. The girl who now looks at him with cold eyes and no recognition.
What begins as betrayal and blood soon tangles into something darker: an arranged marriage neither asked for, a dangerous game of power, and the slow unraveling of a bond both of them are afraid to claim.
Because Xai may have forgotten their past... but Xander never did.
......................................................................................
Xai: "Step closer, and I'll cut you."
"Sempre con il coltello... You always did hide behind steel."
(Always with the steel)
"¿Siempre tan arrogante? You think knowing my name gives you power over me?"
"No, princesa. What gives me power is knowing the things you've forgotten."
"Then remind me... before I bury this knife where it hurts."
"Careful, Xai. Some memories draw blood."

The air between them is fire and ice - a thin line between hatred and something neither of them wants to name.

Brutal Vows
A loveless beginning was thrust upon them, an unspoken nightmare that cast a shadow over their marriage from the very first moment. It was as if fate itself had cruelly dictated their union, stripping away the warmth, the passion, the tenderness they longed for. As the old saying goes, "The most powerful warriors are patience and time," and in this cruel tale, those words proved painfully true. They watched in silent agony as fierce warriors-unyielding and relentless-unfurled their brutal vows, exposing the raw, unvarnished truth of what bound these two hearts-vows forged in darkness, soaked in suffering, and silent despair. Was that love? Could what they shared truly be called love? How could I have deserved such a fate-being loved, or even loving in return-when my heart was so battered, so wounded? How and why did I love you? These questions clawed their way through my mind like relentless demons, each one more desperate, more agonizing than the last. And yet, amidst the chaos of doubt and pain, only one unwavering truth remained: unshaken, unbroken. In the depths of our souls, we made a vow-a sacred promise to God, to the heavens, to ourselves-we vowed to love, to love each other, to love us.
