“When Valentina Russo is forced to marry Alessandro De Luca, the ruthless and dangerously handsome heir to the De Luca crime empire, she becomes a pawn in a deadly game of power, betrayal, and desire. She was never meant to be his bride her perfect, obedient sister was. But when her sister vanishes on the eve of the wedding, Valentina is thrust into a world of wealth, violence, and passion she never asked for. Alessandro is cold, possessive, and unforgiving, a man who doesn't take betrayal lightly. He sees Valentina as nothing more than a replacement, a woman he didn't choose but now owns. However, she's different fierce, unpredictable, and unwilling to bow to him. And that makes her dangerous. Torn between the arrogant mafia boss who ignites a fire in her veins and his enigmatic cousin, Lorenzo, who offers her an escape, Valentina finds herself caught in a web of deadly secrets, forbidden attraction, and an irresistible war between love and hate. But in this world, love is a weakness. And trusting the wrong man? b Could cost her everything including her life. Will she surrender to Alessandro's dark desires or escape before she becomes his prisoner forever?"”
