Summary

To end a blood feud between two of the world’s most powerful crime families, Elena Romano is forced into marriage with Dante Morozov, the Bratva’s cold, calculating heir. He doesn’t believe in peace. He doesn’t believe in love. And he makes it clear from the start: she is nothing more than the price of survival. But Elena refuses to be a pawn. Fierce, defiant, and unwilling to bend, she becomes the one person who challenges his control. Every clash between them ignites into dangerous chemistry, every stolen glance blurs the line between hate and desire. As betrayal weaves through both families, Dante’s possessive obsession deepens into something far more perilous devotion. And Elena discovers that the man she swore to despise may be the only one who can protect her in a world built on lies, loyalty, and blood. Enemies-to-lovers. Forced marriage. One bed. Betrayal. Obsession. In a city where love is weakness and power is everything, only one truth remains: You can’t escape the king who owns your heart… and your life.

“I don’t want your love, printsessa. I want your obedience.”

To stop a blood war between two powerful mafias, Elena Romano is forced into marriage with Dante Morozov, the Bratva’s most feared heir. Cold. Calculating. Untouchable. Dante rules with a stare sharper than his blade, and he makes it clear: she’s nothing more than the price of peace.

But peace was never his goal.

As danger closes in from every side, Dante’s possessive protectiveness turns into something far more dangerous. And Elena? She swore she’d never love a man who kills without mercy… until she sees the way his hands tremble when she’s in danger.

In a world of blood oaths and broken vows, one truth becomes impossible to ignore: You can’t escape the man who owns your heart… and your life.

If you think you can survive him… think again.

Mafia romance. Forced marriage. Enemies-to-lovers. Possessive alpha. Slow-burn tension and steam.
