When Y/N De Luca returns home after months away at university, she expects family dinners, old routines, and distance from the violent world she was born into. Instead, she walks into the one thing capable of changing the city forever: a marriage between the two most powerful mafia families in Italy. Her soft-hearted sister, Émilie, is engaged to Albert Moretti — heir to the family the De Lucas have hated for generations. While everyone celebrates the alliance, Y/N sees exactly what it is: dangerous. Especially when it means being forced back into the orbit of Charles Moretti. Cold. Brilliant. Violent. Untouchable. Charles and Y/N grew up hating each other, challenging each other, understanding each other far too well. They are the same kind of dangerous — strategic, proud, impossible to control — and being near each other again feels less like peace and more like lighting a match near gasoline. As alliances shift, secrets spread through the city, and loyalty becomes harder to trust, Y/N finds herself trapped between family duty, power, and a boy she should never want. Because in families like theirs, love was never the dangerous part. It was choosing sides.
