Zara Lennox is bound by her mother’s debt, but the price for freedom isn’t just money—it’s her life. Draven Vale, the ruthless mafia king, gives Zara an impossible choice: marry a homeless man from the streets to clear her family’s debt, or risk everything. Jett, the man she marries, isn’t the broken ghost Zara believes him to be. Beneath his battered exterior lies a man with a hidden past and a fire that threatens to consume everything Zara has fought to protect. As they navigate their forced marriage, Zara finds herself falling for a man she never expected—one whose loyalty, strength, and past may just be the key to both their survival. In a world ruled by mafia kings, Zara must choose between loyalty to her family and the love that could destroy her—and everything she’s ever known.
