Chains And Power

Luca Romano, heir to the Romano empire, was feared long before taking power. At thirty-five, with jet-black hair, icy-blue eyes, and tattoos marking a life of danger, he commanded obedience without a word. Women swooned in his presence-except one...
Isabella Santiago had no care in the world. She met Luca's gaze without fear, refusing to play by the rules everyone else followed. Her defiance unsettled him, opening an interest he hasn't felt in a long time. Soon, he would inherit the Romano empire, but his father had one demand; for him to get married.
Isabella Santiago, at twenty-three, carried quiet confidence. With dark waves and brown eyes, she needed no approval from others. Unlike most, she wasn't impressed by Luca Romano's infamous name or power. To her he was just another arrogant man used to controlling. Yet, despite herself, she felt a dangerous pull she couldn't ignore.
Her father, however, saw marriage as duty-an alliance to strengthen the Santiago Family. But Isabella resisted, unwilling to be caged by her fathers ambitions.
