What happens when the man who shattered your heart becomes the one begging for your forgiveness?
Luciana Samuel once believed in love. In Paris, she chased freedom, only to be betrayed by those closest to her. One reckless night with a stranger—Romano Antonio, Don of the De Santis Empire—left her with scars deeper than desire: betrayal, a broken heart, and a secret she swore to protect. Six years later, she is no longer the trusting daughter of a Don. She is the ruthless queen of her father’s cartel, armed with vengeance and a son who is her greatest weapon and shield.
But what will she do when fate forces Romano back into her world? He is no longer just her enemy; he is a man drowning in regret, a father who doesn’t know he has a son. Can Luciana protect her empire—and her heart—when the man she swore to destroy kneels before her, begging for redemption?
As enemies close in and betrayals unravel, will she cling to the revenge that has kept her alive, or surrender to the second chance she never wanted but cannot ignore? In a world of blood oaths and power struggles, can love rise from the ashes of betrayal—or will it all end in ruin?
