I was discarded the moment my husband gained power.
Divorced. Humiliated. Left with nothing…while my mother lay dying.
Serena Black believed loyalty and sacrifice would be enough to secure her place beside Antonio Romano. Instead, she discovers she was only ever a stepping stone. He replaces her with a pregnant woman claiming to be the legendary Black family heiress and erases Serena from his life without mercy.
Divorced, humiliated, and stripped of everything, Serena’s world collapses… until fate throws her beneath the wheels of the most dangerous man alive.
Dante Romano is the ruthless Don of the Romano Mafia empire. Cold, commanding, untouchable. He should have walked away from the broken woman bleeding in the street. Instead, he sees a scar that awakens a memory he buried ten years ago… and a desire he was never supposed to feel.
To protect her and to uncover the truth, Dante offers Serena a contract marriage. Revenge in exchange for a ring. Power in exchange for her name.
But nothing is simple when the man you marry is your ex-husband’s father.
As lies unravel and bloodlines are questioned, Serena is forced to choose: remain a pawn in a brutal mafia game… or rise as a queen feared by all. And Dante must decide how far he’s willing to go for the woman who was never meant to be his.
Because in this world, love is forbidden.
And truth is deadly.
When secrets collide and desire defies loyalty, will Serena claim her destiny or will loving the Don cost her everything?
