Don Matteo DiCarlo is a ruthless mafia lord, feared across the city for his power and cold heart. When a wealthy businessman, Richard Thornton, defaults on a large loan, Matteo is dispatched to collect the debt. Upon arriving at Thornton’s mansion, Matteo is met with the grim realization that the once-wealthy tycoon is now nothing more than a broke fool, living far beyond his means by borrowing money from the wrong people. Desperate to save face, Richard offers his most precious asset—his daughter, Isabella—as payment. Matteo is initially repulsed by the idea. Isabella is soft, delicate, and far too weak for someone like him. She's the very picture of vulnerability, and Matteo has no patience for weakness. However, as the days pass and Matteo spends more time in her presence, he finds himself drawn to her in ways he can’t explain. Isabella, though fragile in appearance, hides a fierce resilience beneath her gentle exterior. The more Matteo tries to keep his distance, the more he’s tempted by the soft touch of her skin, the innocence in her eyes, and the way she challenges his cold exterior without even trying. As their relationship heats up, Matteo must battle his growing attraction to the woman he initially deemed unworthy. But Isabella has her own secrets and desires, and the line between debt and desire begins to blur as their chemistry intensifies, testing both their limits. In a world of power, corruption, and deceit, will Matteo be able to claim what is his without losing himself in the process? Or will Isabella be the one to change the Don’s heart forever?

Elle a toujours été rejetée par l'homme qu'elle a sauvé, mais aujourd'hui, le Roi Alpha ne peut détacher son regard d'elle, et ses plus grands rivaux non plus. Il y a des années, Ella a tout risqué pour sauver secrètement un homme blessé lors d'une tempête, lui laissant le pendentif en jade de sa mère pour qu'il ne l'oublie pas. Mais l'impitoyable Roi Alpha, Lucien, n'a jamais su qu'elle était sa véritable sauveuse. Au lieu de cela, il a choisi sa cruelle demi-sœur, Selene, qui s'en est attribué le mérite. Désormais contrainte à un froid mariage de complaisance pour rembourser les dettes de sa famille, Ella pénètre dans l'imposant manoir de Lucien dans l'espoir de révéler enfin la vérité. Malheureusement, son sacrifice n'est récompensé que par un chagrin d'amour lorsqu'il rejette complètement leur lien d'accouplement, préférant les mensonges de Selene au dévouement d'Ella de la manière la plus dévastatrice qui soit. Cinq ans plus tard, un puissant Duc Royal rival incarne tout ce que Lucien a juré de détruire. C'est un Alpha riche et arrogant qui, en plus d'être irrésistible aux yeux de la presse d'une manière presque frustrante, est aussi le nouvel allié politique d'Ella. Alors que le cœur d'Ella est protégé derrière son nouveau statut de PDG milliardaire, le Duc est le seul à voir son véritable pouvoir et lui offre un moyen tentant de l'exercer : une alliance publique qui ne doit pas nécessairement s'arrêter là. Cela ne commence que par un faux rendez-vous pour faire enrager Lucien, mais se transforme en une démonstration éblouissante d'indépendance qui a le goût d'une douce vengeance. Lucien, qui se meurt à présent de la malédiction d'avoir rejeté sa véritable compagne, découvre enfin la vérité sur le journal intime volé et se retrouve envahi par d'atroces regrets et une jalousie terrifiante.

But he was saved. Everyone thought that Victoria died in the sacrifice spell, to protect her mate Alexander, her witch powers, and her wolf Carla. But if it was true, then who was this girl Jasmine, who was having images of a man with amber eyes and a girl with long black hair? Why was she having dreams of a girl who is called Victoria, and why does she keep hearing strange voices in her head? The main question was, if she was Victoria, then why anyone didn't recognize her for so long? Amidst this, what will happen when the long-lost love of Jasmine, Daniel Neptune, comes into the scene?
