Under the glittering chandeliers of a lavish celebration, where mafia power meets the world’s elite, Isabella “Bella” Valenti’s life is ripped apart. A sudden, brutal attack leaves her fighting for survival, saved only by Luca Santoro—a mysterious amnesiac whose forgotten past ties him to her family’s rivals, including a fiancée as dangerous as any weapon.
As the ongoing mafia war rages behind the facade of wealth and influence, Bella and Luca are drawn into a deadly game of loyalty, betrayal, and forbidden desire. Every choice could spark bloodshed or shatter trust. In a world where love is as perilous as power, can they survive the ties that bind them?
This story was born out of my fascination with the gray areas of loyalty, love, and power. I wanted to explore what happens when family ties clash with personal desires, and how far people are willing to go to protect those they care about—even when the world around them is chaotic and dangerous. Expect bullets, betrayal, and moments of forbidden passion, all set against a backdrop of high-stakes crime and complex relationships.
I hope you enjoy the ride, and remember: in this world, trust is as deadly as any weapon.
