When the brutal patriarch of the Scarlatti family dies under mysterious circumstances, his estranged daughter, Valentina Scarlatti, is summoned back from exile to claim the empire she once ran from. As she steps into the shadows of her family’s throne, she discovers her father left behind more than secrets—he left enemies, blood oaths, and a vendetta that threatens to burn the whole dynasty down.
Standing in her way is Bryan Moretti, a ruthless fixer from the rival Moretti syndicate with a vendetta of his own. But when a mutual enemy surfaces—one who wants both families destroyed—Valentina and Bryan must form a dangerous alliance, where trust is traded for power, and desire is a weapon neither can afford to wield.
