Bound by blood

Elena Russo has spent her entire life surrounded by wealth, power, and danger. As the daughter of one of the most feared mafia bosses in the city, she knows better than anyone that nothing in her world comes without a price.

But she never expected the price to be her freedom.

When a war threatens to destroy both the Russo and Moretti families, their fathers make a deal that could save them both: Elena must marry Luca Moretti, the ruthless heir to the rival mafia empire.

Luca is everything Elena despises-cold, arrogant, dangerous, and completely convinced that everyone eventually belongs to him.

And Elena?

She's the one woman who refuses to bow to him.

Forced into a marriage neither of them wants, Elena and Luca make a pact: they'll play the perfect married couple in front of their families, but behind closed doors, they'll stay out of each other's lives.

At least, that's the plan.

Because the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore the tension between them. Stolen glances turn into heated arguments. Arguments turn into jealousy. And slowly, hatred begins to blur into something neither of them is prepared to admit.

But falling in love with the enemy comes with consequences.

Someone is betraying their families from the inside.

Someone wants Elena dead.

And Luca will have to decide just how far he's willing to go to protect the woman he was never supposed to love.

They were forced to marry.

They were never supposed to fall in love.

But in their world, love can be the most dangerous weapon of all.
