because LOVE IS LIFE

Love was once their safe place.
He was her childhood, her best friend, her first love.
She was his strength in a world ruled by power, blood, and fear.

But the mafia doesn't believe in fairytales.

Fate forces her into a marriage that exists only in name,
where love is denied and reputation matters more than emotions.
Bound by vows but divided by secrets,
they stand on opposite sides of the same destiny.

In a world where loyalty is deadly and love is dangerous,
can childhood love survive the darkness of the mafia?

Because when love is life...
losing it feels like death.
