Her inherited debt
Aria Moreno thought she knew her father, he was very a hardworking man who always put his family first. But when he passed away, leaving behind a crippling debt owed to the infamous Blackwood Syndicate, her world shatters. Instead of money, they come for her.
Thrown into a world of shadows and secrets, Aria finds herself under the "protection" of Declan Blackwood, the heir to a criminal empire as ruthless as it is powerful. But Declan isn’t the monster she expected. He’s calculated yet strangely protective, a man burdened by his own scars and obligations.
As Aria fights to unravel the truth behind her father’s betrayal, she’s forced to navigate a dangerous game of power, deception, and survival. Every step brings her closer to uncovering buried family secrets—truths that threaten to destroy not only her, but the fragile connection forming between her and Declan.
Caught between a life she can’t escape and a man she shouldn’t trust, Aria must find the strength to reclaim her destiny in a world where loyalty is a lie and freedom comes at a price
