Isadora Montreval Héritière unique du plus redouté empire clandestin de France, Isadora Montreval a grandi dans un monde où le silence est loi et l’amour, une arme. Derrière les façades de marbre et les salons dorés, elle a appris à cacher ses émotions, obéir sans faillir et survivre sans jamais fléchir. Éduquée pour gouverner, surveillée pour ne jamais s’échapper, Isadora sait depuis l’enfance que sa vie n’est pas un choix, mais un héritage. Pourtant, sous sa maîtrise apparente brûle un désir secret : disparaître. Partir loin des ombres familiales, voyager sans escorte, créer quelque chose de simple et de vrai — une pâtisserie à son nom, et non celui d’un empire criminel. Un rêve discret, presque interdit. Mais dans le monde de la mafia, les rêves sont des failles. Un mariage arrangé vient refermer la cage autour d’elle, la condamnant à renoncer à toute liberté pour devenir l’épouse parfaite d’un homme qu’elle n’a jamais choisi. ⸻ Luca Moretti Héritier de la mafia italienne, Luca Moretti n’a jamais appris à négocier ses désirs : il prend, impose, écrase. Le pouvoir est sa langue maternelle, la violence son héritage. Là où il passe, le monde s’incline — ou se brise. Quand il rencontre Isadora, bien avant que les alliances soient scellées, il comprend immédiatement : elle n’est pas fragile. Elle est verrouillée. Derrière son calme glacial, il devine la résistance, la volonté contenue, la femme capable de le défier sans un mot. Il la veut. Il peut lui offrir le luxe, la protection, un royaume entier… mais jamais ce qu’elle désire vraiment. Car une seule chose est immuable : Isadora Montreval lui appartient désormais.
