Preface
Preface:
In a world where flavors speak louder than words and shadows whisper forgotten truths, two fates entwine—one born of spice and soul, the other cursed by legacy and night.
Pallavi Srinivasan leaves behind the warmth of Chennai’s kitchens and the rhythm of her homeland to chase her culinary dreams in the heart of Italy. With every dish, she carries her heritage—bold, unapologetic, and full of fire. But Italy offers her more than opportunity—it draws her into darkness.
Zavian Moretti is the heir to a mafia empire soaked in blood and secrets. By day, he rules with silence. By night, he becomes something else entirely—a beast bound by a centuries-old curse. Hidden behind steel eyes and ghosted touch, he’s resigned to solitude... until Pallavi.
When spice meets shadow and courage meets curse, something stirs.
Amidst smoke, danger, and slow-burning desire, can love break through the chains of fate?
Or will the darkness swallow them whole?
This isn’t just a romance.
It’s a tale of healing, hunger, and hearts too wild to be tamed.
