It wasn't the prospect of marrying a stranger that scared me the most. It was the dangerous allure that he held, a mysterious charm that threatened to pull me into his dark world.

Bella

Born into the cradle of the Italian mafia, my life was never my own. I was destined to be a bargaining chip, a pawn in the deadly game of power my father played.

He wagered me for a truce, a false peace between the Italian mafia and the Russian Bratva. I was to be the wife of the ruthless Bratva leader, Anton.

Anton

For years, I've been at war with the Italians. The endless cycle of bloodshed seemed to have no end until the proposition was put on the table - a marriage to bring about peace. I was ready to reject it until I saw her - Bella, a beacon of innocence and beauty in a world that was far too cruel.

Her wide-eyed fear intrigued me, but it was her strength that made me want her. She was meant to be a symbol of peace, a token wife. But I knew from the moment I saw her, she was destined to be so much more.

When danger begins to loom closer, and secrets threaten to unravel, I find my world spiraling into chaos. The lines between love and duty blur, and I have to decide what I'm willing to sacrifice. Because war is no place for love, and I'm about to find out that not even my marriage, forged in the fires of violence, is immune.

Will the endless shadows of our pasts consume us, or will we find a way to emerge, stronger and more united than before? After all, in our world, a promise made is a promise kept... even if it means paying the ultimate price.
