Vows of blood and secrets
In the mafia world, love is a luxury. And secrets are lethal.
Leonardo Moretti, the eldest son of Don Moretti, is everything a future mafia heir should be calm, intelligent, and loyal. But behind the silence lies a truth he can't speak: he's in love with his bodyguard, Marco De Luca. Their love, hidden in shadows and stolen moments, is forbidden by blood, honor, and legacy. Now, with Leonardo's engagement arranged for power, their secret burns dangerously close to exposure.
Marco would die for Leonardo he already lives in the silence between his heartbeat and the barrel of his gun. But protecting Leonardo means more than dodging bullets. It means watching him walk toward a life that will tear them apart.
On the other side of the mafia war, Isabella Vasquez, the fiery youngest daughter of Don Vasquez, refuses to be another pawn. When her father arranges her marriage for profit, she escapes only to fall into the hands of Lucien Vale, a dangerous outsider crime lord with motives darker than she can guess.
Lucien didn’t save her. He claimed her for reasons that blur the lines between obsession, power, and something far more twisted. Now, Isabella must choose: submit to his world or manipulate it from within.
As alliances fracture and loyalties blur, four souls bound by duty, love, and lies must decide what they're willing to risk and who they're willing to betray for the truth they can’t deny.
