Enzo Leclerc Rattanavin, the golden heir of Bangkok's elite, is used to getting what he wants.
Handsome, spoiled, and restless, he's the center of attention everywhere he goes - until a family scandal and a sudden arranged marriage with Kristen Wongsathorn threaten to cage him.
Running from duty and image, Enzo flees to Isla Viravadee, a secluded island of tranquil waters and quiet lives. There he meets Kawin Viparaveet - a strikingly handsome, soft-spoken islander who rarely talks, preferring silence to noise.
What Enzo doesn't know: Kawin's real name is Kawin Wongsathorn - the illegitimate son of Enzo's father's rival, abandoned as a child.
They begin as enemies - clashing in every way. But as they are forced to work together, Enzo's chaos meets Kawin's calm, and both begin to unravel and rebuild.
Kawin teaches Enzo simplicity and sincerity; Enzo teaches Kawin how to use his voice - and his heart - again.
By the time the truth surfaces, love has already anchored too deep to undo.

The Borrowed Name
In the nation's sprawling Capital City, where power is a currency and corruption paves the streets in gold, Lorenzo 'Enzo' Velasco lives a prince's life. As the son of a notoriously corrupt congressman, his future is set, his comfort guaranteed by money stolen from the very people his father swore to serve. But the gilded cage shatters when a preventable tragedy, a landslide born from his father's greed, claims the one person he truly loves: his idealistic sister, Sofia. Haunted by guilt and shattered by the truth, Enzo does the unthinkable. He turns his back on the Velasco empire, sheds his name like a borrowed coat, and vanishes. With only the cash in his pocket and a new identity, he journeys to the forgotten, mud scarred mountains of a remote province, the very community his family destroyed. There, among the victims of his family's crimes, he seeks a punishing penance, not in prayer, but in sweat, callouses, and the back breaking work of rebuilding what was lost. But in a town where the name 'Velasco' is a curse, anonymity is a fragile shield. As he fights to earn the trust of the resilient locals, he must confront the ghosts of his past and the escalating threat of his powerful father, who will stop at nothing to silence the truth. Can a son truly wash his hands of his father's sins? And in trying to save a community, can he redeem the one thing he has left, a borrowed name?Complete

Although a lot of inspiration was taken from my life (surprising?), this story and all characters depicted are fictional. I do suffer from generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder. Those themes were inspired by my experiences. ❌⭕️❌⭕️ This book started as practice and a creative outlet, which is why the plot is... interesting. My goals for this challenge are listed below, let me know if I nailed them! Goals: ✔️ 50,000 words (2,000 - 2,500 per chapter) ✔️ Dabble in psychological themes ✔️ Bring a dark twist to the Mafia Romance genre ✔️ Limit the use of profanities (which this genre is known for :P) ✔️ Finish my first novelComplete
