Valentina

"You belong to me now."
"I never belonged to you, Luca."

Valentina was born into blood - even if she grew up pretending she wasn't.

Raised in Canada, she's spent her whole life trying to outrun the legacy of her Italian crime family. She wants college, freedom, and a future untouched by violence.

But the mafia doesn't let its own walk away.

Luca is heir to everything dangerous.

In two years, he's set to inherit his father's empire - an underground world built on loyalty, fear, and ruthless power. He was trained to lead. Conditioned to kill. Taught that weakness gets you buried.

And Valentina?

She's become his problem.

Their families force them together, binding them through deals, debts, and unspoken threats. What begins as resentment turns into obsession - and what feels like attraction might actually be a trap.

She wants escape.
He was raised to control.

Caught between rival families, secret betrayals, and a future neither of them chose, Valentina must decide if survival means running... or becoming just as dangerous as the world she came from.

And Luca must face the truth:

You can rule an empire -
but you can't own a heart.

Two heirs to chaos.
One forbidden connection.
No safe way out.
