BLOOD AND ROSES
Isabella Russo thought her life was already a cage until her father sold her in an arranged marriage to Damian Moretti, the most feared mafia king in New York. On their wedding night, she overhears the crushing truth - she's nothing but a pawn in his game to control her father's territory.
Trapped in a world of blood and bullets, Isabella must learn to survive among killers and liars. But when she saves Damian from an assassination attempt, something shifts between them. The cold monster who bought her starts showing cracks in his armor, and Isabella discovers the betrayal that made him incapable of trust.
Just as their fake marriage begins to feel real, Isabella uncovers a devastating secret - her father didn't arrange this union to protect her. He's been feeding information to Damian's enemies, planning to destroy them both once he gets what he wants. Now Isabella faces an impossible choice: stay loyal to the family that raised her, or protect the man who owns her heart.
When the final war erupts and bullets fly, Isabella must decide who she really is. Will she remain the sheltered daughter who obeys without question, or will she become the mafia queen who rules beside her king? In a world where love is weakness and trust means death, sometimes the greatest betrayal leads to the truest love.
