In the shadow-drenched city of Obsidian Falls, where crime families rule like kings and loyalty is bought with blood, Alessia Duvall is the prized daughter of the most feared mafia boss. Sheltered yet sharp, she’s been promised in marriage to Dante Valtieri, the ruthless heir of a rival syndicate, to end a decade-long war.
But Dante is no stranger to Alessia—years ago, they shared a stolen, forbidden kiss before fate tore them apart. Now, forced into a gilded cage of matrimony, their chemistry is a wildfire neither can control. Yet trust is a luxury neither can afford.
Behind the opulent masquerade of their union lies a web of lies, betrayal, and vengeance. When a ghost from Dante’s past resurfaces, threatening to burn their world to ashes, Alessia must decide: Is her husband her salvation… or her executioner?
