A year ago, Jonathan walked away from Mia without an explanation, leaving her heart shattered. Now, she is forced into an arranged marriage with the same man who once loved her, only this time, neither of them knows the full truth behind the union. To Jonathan, the marriage is a strategic move for business purposes. To the mafia, it is a transaction, and to Mia, it is a trap designed by the father who never loved her. Raised and mistreated by her stepmother and discarded by her own family, Mia is sent back into Jonathan’s life as an entirely different person, hiding her true identity as the daughter of a powerful mafia lord. But Mia is not as powerless as they believe. She is intelligent and already entangled in a dangerous secret—Collins, her hidden lover and a loyal mafia enforcer who will stop at nothing to keep her for himself. As old feelings resurface and buried betrayals come to light, love turns into a battlefield. Caught between two men, two worlds, and a past that refuses to stay buried, Mia must decide whether love is worth risking her life, or if breaking free will cost her everything.

J'ai eu une relation secrète avec Alex Thomas pendant cinq ans et je l'ai séduit d'innombrables fois. Même quand je me suis tenue nue devant lui, avec des oreilles de lapin sur la tête, il m'a simplement couverte d'une couverture de peur que j'aie froid. J'ai cru que c'était la retenue d'un chef de la mafia, qu'il voulait garder notre première fois pour la nuit du mariage, mais un mois avant la cérémonie, il a secrètement organisé le plus grand feu d'artifice de la ville pour fêter l'anniversaire de son amie d'enfance. Ils se sont enlacés devant tout le monde, ont mangé le gâteau ensemble, puis sont entrés dans un hôtel pour couples. Quand je les ai vus quitter l'hôtel ensemble le lendemain matin, j'ai compris qu'Alex n'était pas réservé ni froid, il ne m'aimait tout simplement pas. En sortant de l'hôtel, j'ai appelé mes parents : « Papa, Alex et moi, nous nous sommes séparés. J'accepte d'épouser le fils de la famille des Laurent. » Mon père a été stupéfait : « Mais tu ne l'aimais pas à la folie, Alex ? Comment avez-vous pu rompre ? » « J'ai entendu dire que le fils de la famille des Laurent ne pouvait pas avoir d'enfants… Toi qui aimes tant les enfants, comment feras-tu sans les tiens ? » J'ai répondu d'une voix lasse : « Ce n'est pas grave… je pourrai en adopter beaucoup. »
