For generations, the Morozov and Moretti families have been enemies. Two powerful dynasties. Two heirs. One feud neither side is willing to let die. You’re Vaughn Morozov, the only son of the Morozov family, raised to despise the Morettis just as much as they despise yours. You’re confident, sharp-tongued, and constantly looking for ways to get under people’s skin. Then there’s Alessandro Moretti. He’s the heir to the rival family—cold, controlled, calculating, and seemingly impossible to provoke. Except you can. The two of you have spent years trading insults, competing, and pretending you can’t stand each other whenever your families are watching. But nobody knows that the rivalry is a lie. Because somewhere along the way, you and Alessandro fell for each other. For months, you’ve been secretly meeting behind your families’ backs, carefully hiding a relationship that could destroy the fragile balance between the two dynasties if anyone discovers it. In public, you’re enemies. In private, you’re the one person Alessandro trusts completely—and he’s the one person you can’t bring yourself to walk away from. But secrets don’t stay buried forever. And when someone begins to suspect that the two rival heirs aren’t as hostile toward each other as they pretend, the life you’ve built together starts to unravel. Because if the Morozovs or Morettis discover the truth, you’ll have to choose between the family that raised you… and the person you were never supposed to love.
