In the underworld where power and loyalty reign supreme, two souls are destined to collide—and everything will change.

Venesa Andersen was never the good girl. Not for her parents. Not for her uncle, the ruthless gangster who took her in after the tragedy that shattered her life. Beautiful and cunning, Venesa has learned to live without morality, her heart hardened by years of neglect and duty. But when her cousin returns to their small coastal town, she brings with her a man who sees Venesa for who she truly is. And despite everything she's known, everything she's built, Venesa finds herself drawn to him in ways she never imagined.

Enzo Marino is a man divided—wealthy businessman by day, mafia prince by night. As the underboss to one of the most powerful syndicates in the northeast, Enzo's world is one of loyalty, power, and control. When a marriage is arranged for him, he doesn't hesitate. It's all part of the plan.

Until he meets Venesa.

She's everything he never thought he wanted. Her sultry voice, her intoxicating beauty, the fire in her eyes—it's all too much, yet it pulls him in like a magnetic force. But Enzo has lived his life by rules, and falling for his fiancée's cousin was never part of the deal.

As their paths cross and their forbidden attraction grows, Enzo and Venesa are forced to choose between family loyalty and a love that was never meant to exist. A love that could destroy everything they've ever known, and everything they've ever been taught to protect.

In a world where secrets run deep, betrayal lurks around every corner, and the price of power is higher than ever, Venesa and Enzo must decide if their hearts are worth the cost.
