Two cultures.
Two worlds.
One dangerous obsession.
Damian Moretti was born into power.
The heir to Milan's most feared mafia empire, he was raised in a world where loyalty is absolute and silence is survival.

Their paths were never meant to cross.
But the moment Damian meets the woman who refuses to fear him, something shifts.
What begins as curiosity soon becomes something far more dangerous.
An obsession.
And Damian Moretti is not a man used to being denied.
As enemies close in and two cultures collide, Hayat finds herself pulled deeper into a world of power, secrets, and violence.
A world where Damian intends to keep her close... no matter the cost.
Because in a world ruled by silence, love can be the most dangerous weakness of all.

RUINED BY ROYALTY: Obsession Reborn
Note: It's highly recommended to read Book 1, "Ruined by Royalty," before diving into this story because this is the second book and continuation. Title: Ruined by Royalty: Obsession Reborn Five years. Five long, torturous years of madness, of searching, of shattered sanity. Two princes-twisted by grief, consumed by obsession-have hunted shadows, whispered her name into the wind, lost themselves entirely in the memory of a queen they thought they'd lost forever. But Liyana... she's alive. And when destiny drags them back to her, nothing will ever be the same. A skip of time. A river. An old orange saree clinging to her figure, the sunlight glinting off the rippling water as she bends to wash clothes. A soft noise-an interruption-and she turns. Five years freeze in a heartbeat. Their eyes burn. Their breaths catch. "Liyana..." they whisper, barely audible, broken, haunted. She tilts her head, her gaze sharp yet innocent. And with a single, piercing question, she shatters the air between them: "Do I know you, sir?" Desire. Madness. Obsession. Revenge. Love. Everything they've ever wanted... and feared.Complete
