Some loves are meant to destroy.* In a city where danger lurks in every shadow, Lila Dunn has built a life of control and stability. A young woman focused on her career and her future, she has carefully steered clear of anything that could unravel the tight grip she has on her world. That is, until one fateful night when a chance encounter with the infamous Dominic “The Bull” Caruso throws everything she’s ever known into chaos. Dominic Caruso, a name whispered in fear throughout the criminal underworld, is as ruthless as he is captivating. As a high-ranking enforcer for the Caruso crime family, Dominic’s life is defined by blood and betrayal. He’s a man who doesn’t believe in love, let alone trust. Yet when he crosses paths with Lila, he sees something in her—something untouched by the darkness he’s immersed in. What starts as a casual encounter soon spirals into something much deeper, a dangerous obsession that neither of them can escape. Dominic’s world of violence and control begins to consume Lila, pulling her into a whirlwind of passion, power, and peril. But as Lila grapples with her growing feelings for a man who lives by a code she can’t understand, she faces an impossible choice: remain in the life she’s fought to create, or embrace the dangerous, intoxicating love that threatens to destroy her. In *Tainted Love*, I wanted to explore the tension between the safety of the life we know and the allure of the unknown—how love can make us feel both invincible and vulnerable at the same time. Through Lila and Dominic’s story, I hope to capture the raw, unrelenting emotions that come with falling for someone who doesn’t just challenge our beliefs but forces us to confront the darkest parts of ourselves. This is a love story where every choice has consequences, and sometimes, the price of passion is higher than we can afford.

The realm of Lusara is a land of splendor and strife, where towering kingdoms rise above fertile lands, and shadowed secrets dwell within the hearts of the powerful. The empire is upheld by a delicate balance: a sovereign monarch presiding over lesser lords, and beneath them, the two dominant Houses—House Avernal and House Crimsonvale. These Houses are the empire’s shield and dagger, bound by duty yet divided by enmity. Known as the "Houses of the Devil," their reputations stem from the lords who rule them—individuals whose power, ambition, and ruthlessness have made them both revered and feared. Each House serves the empire in its own way: House Avernal safeguards the northern frontiers, a land of unyielding mountains and winter's breath, while House Crimsonvale governs the southern expanses, a place of blazing sands and endless sunsets. Though their territories form the empire’s spine, their hostility toward each other threatens to tear it apart. In a time of rising tensions, their paths converge not on the battlefield but at the edge of the empire, where an abandoned orphanage crumbles in solitude. There, among overgrown flowers and whispered memories, lives a girl who calls herself a flower.

I embrace it because it is my dream, my desire, my rebellion against the predictable, the expected. I do not need a reason to be dark—I choose this. And that, in itself, makes me dangerous.
