After waking up from a car accident, I become the perfect wife of Dr. Leonardo Rossi. In the next two years of being an amnesiac, I rely on Leonardo and love him with all my heart. But on the night of our wedding anniversary, I accidentally overhear his murmured conversation with a subordinate. "Take her out once she's done signing the asset transfer papers." At that moment, a searing hot memory comes barging into my mind. I remember a man placing a hand on my sweat-drenched lower back. As he pants, he murmurs into my ear, "My dearest Donna Vittoria Costa, remember that I'm the only one who can make you shiver like this."

Dunia kegelapan mengenalnya sebagai Ratu Iblis yang tak terkalahkan, pemimpin yang memerintah dengan tangan besi dan kekuatan tak terbantahkan. Namun, sebelum menjadi sosok yang ditakuti, Zhefora hanyalah seorang gadis kecil yang dikutuk oleh takdir. Ia lahir sebagai putri dari penguasa kerajaan iblis, tetapi sejak kecil ia dijauhi karena cakra iblis yang mengalir dalam tubuhnya—sesuatu yang bahkan kaum iblis sendiri takuti. Dibandingkan dengan saudara-saudaranya yang disanjung dan dihormati, Zhefora tumbuh dalam bayang-bayang ketakutan dan kebencian. Jika ia terluka, orang-orang menghindar.

Dalam sebuah ekspedisi untuk memperluas wilayahnya, pasukan kerajaan iblis terjebak dalam serangan brutal dari musuh yang tak terduga. Zhefora yang selama ini tak pernah goyah, untuk pertama kalinya menghadapi kemungkinan kekalahan. Di saat itulah ia melihatnya—Aroo. Seorang pria muda dengan kekuatan yang bahkan tak bisa ia duga. Ia bukan iblis, bukan manusia, bukan makhluk yang bisa Zhefora definisikan dengan mudah. Dengan satu gerakan, Aroo membalikkan keadaan.

Dan yang lebih penting... mengapa kehadirannya membuat hati Zhefora yang beku mulai retak? Seiring waktu, hubungan mereka berkembang—dari sekadar ratu dan panglima, menjadi sesuatu yang lebih berbahaya. Zhefora yang selama ini hanya mengenal kesepian, mulai merasakan sesuatu yang lebih dalam.

Raised in the shadows of Europe's deadliest families, he carved an empire from blood and betrayal. He doesn't believe in God. He doesn't believe in love. Only power and control. But when he's given a gift by an old enemy, a trembling girl in holy white ,he doesn't expect her eyes to shake something loose in him. Something dangerous that could unravel everything he's built. …. CELESTE MOREAU is a fallen saint. A girl with too much guilt in her bones and too many prayers left unanswered. Haunted by the night her mother died while she was sneaking out to meet a boy, she's spent six years behind church walls, trying to repent. Trying to disappear. She knew what the other sisters did in the shadows. She just prayed she'd never be chosen. But when her only friend begs her to take her place for a mysterious client, Celeste finds herself sold to the most dangerous man in Europe. He is sin incarnate. And when he touches her, she doesn't feel fear. She feels alive.

She was always the shadow. He was always chasing the light. Lavinia Hartwell had learned early that love was rarely for girls like her. She was the quiet one, the overlooked one—always second to her luminous best friend, Verity Langford. Even Henry Wynthorne, the boy whose compassion had unexpectedly caught her heart in high school, only had eyes for Verity. But years change people. Henry’s dreams of studying abroad collapsed with his father’s death. Verity left. Success became his only compass, and alcohol his only escape. And somehow, in the wreckage, there was Lavinia—never demanding, never judging, quietly holding him together in ways he never noticed… until she was gone. When an arranged engagement threatened to give her to him, Henry assumed she was being forced into it and set her free. Lavinia smiled, thanked him—and walked away, taking with her the steady presence he had taken for granted. Only then did Henry begin to notice the ache. The way her absence unsettled him. The way another man’s hand on her waist ignited a heat that was not anger, but something darker, sharper, and dangerously possessive. A single night blurred the lines forever—her lips on his, soft at first, then desperate, as though she’d loved him all her life. Desire flared, undeniable. But in the morning, she was gone again. Now, with Verity back and the past colliding with the present, Henry must face the truth: he no longer loves the woman he once chased. But has he realized too late who truly held his heart all along? Slow-burn, sensual, and laced with aching restraint, this is a story of unspoken devotion, of a man’s reluctant fall, and of the quiet girl who was never anyone’s first choice—until she became the only choice.
