Isabella Romano has always known her father’s gambling addiction would destroy their family—she just never imagined it would cost her freedom. When Giovanni Romano loses $5 million to the Salvatore crime family and can’t pay, his debt is called in by the most feared man in New York: Dante Salvatore, the 32-year-old Don who rules the city’s underworld with ruthless efficiency. But Dante doesn’t want money—he wants something far more valuable. He wants Isabella. Forced into a contract marriage to settle her father’s debt, 24-year-old Isabella becomes the unwilling wife of a man she’s been taught to fear. Dante is everything she despises: cold, violent, controlling, and dangerously possessive. He claims her as his property, locks her in his gilded mansion-prison, and makes it clear she’ll never escape. But Isabella isn’t the submissive bride Dante expected. She fights him at every turn, challenges his authority, and refuses to surrender—even as the explosive chemistry between them threatens to consume them both. As Isabella navigates the treacherous world of mafia politics, she discovers that Dante isn’t the monster everyone believes him to be. Beneath the ruthless exterior is a man haunted by tragedy, bound by duty, and desperately alone. The more time she spends with him, the more the lines between hate and desire blur. But their forced union has made Isabella a target. Rival families see her as Dante’s weakness. Traitors within his own organization plot to use her against him. And when a ghost from Dante’s past resurfaces, threatening everything he’s built, Isabella must decide: will she run from the man who imprisoned her, or stand beside the beast who would burn the world to keep her safe? In a world where love is the ultimate weakness and trust can get you killed, Isabella and Dante must learn that the most dangerous chains aren’t made of steel—they’re forged from passion, obsession, and a love worth dying for.

In a world where everyone is expected to follow the normal routine, it takes courage to stand out, especially when life itself seems determined to pull you back into line. Obaseki Nkiru Adilia has never been ordinary. From a young age, she refuses to follow protocols simply because everyone else does. Strong-willed, self-disciplined, and fiercely goal-oriented, Adilia believes in carving her own path. By the age of fourteen, she has already mapped out her life goals, convinced that determination alone can shape her future. But life is rarely that simple. As Adilia grows older, she is confronted with unexpected hurdles, conflicting loyalties, and pressures that challenge everything she believes in. Dreams begin to clash with reality, and the price of being different becomes painfully clear. Standing at a crossroads, she must decide whether to conform to the normal way of life or pursue her dreams, no matter how difficult or uncertain the journey becomes. This is not just the story of an African girl. It is the story of anyone who has ever felt torn between expectation and ambition, of anyone who has been told their dreams are unrealistic or impossible. It is a story about courage, resilience, and the choice to believe in oneself, even when the world says otherwise.
