“She thought she was a pawn. He saw her as a queen. The world? It was just the board they planned to burn together.”
Rose Scarlett was the fragile girl born into shadows, raised by a family who taught her to fear the world she was meant to rule.
Xavier Blackwood was the king of chaos — ruthless, feared, untouchable — until she became the one thing he couldn't control.
What began as a political marriage becomes a war of secrets, betrayal, and blood-stained love.
When truth bleeds and the past rots away, two broken souls must decide: will they destroy each other — or the world that tried to break them?
A dark mafia romance full of slow-burn tension, secret identities, raw pain, and a love that doesn’t heal… it scars.

Ashley: I enjoyed the story. It was a short one so the fast pace fit. I think something should be put in to show a time jump between paragraphs like a "****" just to make it easier to follow when we skip to the next day week or month. Over all a good read.
