Aurora Luisa Di Luca has always lived between two worlds—grace on the ballet stage, and silence in the shadows of her family’s dangerous empire. As the only daughter of the Capo of the Di Luca Cosa Nostra, hers is a name whispered among the criminal elite, a legacy steeped in power and peril.
When she is abducted by Ilya Morozov, the formidable Pakhan of the Morozov Bratva, Aurora’s meticulously crafted world begins to crumble. To Ilya, she is far more than a bargaining chip, she is an obsession he cannot outrun.

✨WOW, I LOVED this book!✨
Relatable heroine, intoxicating alpha MMC, slow-burn chemistry, and flawless writing. An instant favorite! 💕🔥
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

WOW. I absolutely LOVED this book! From the very first page, it pulled me in and didn’t let go. Both the MFC and MMC were written so well—I honestly loved them equally. The heroine felt so relatable, and the way her heart condition was woven into the story gave it such a unique edge that really set it apart from other books in this genre. It added vulnerability and depth that made me root for her even more.
The MMC? Completely intoxicating and endlessly intriguing. He had that perfect alpha male presence without being overbearing, and the chemistry between them was electric. The slow burn was so worth it—the tension built in a way that kept me turning pages late into the night.
On top of that, the writing quality was phenomenal. The pacing, the emotion, the descriptions… everything flowed so smoothly. You can tell how much care went into crafting every detail of the story. It had that rare balance of heart, heat, and depth that makes a book unforgettable.
This one is going straight to my list of favorites, and I’ll definitely be reading more from this author.
