Isabella Swan was just an ordinary twenty-two year old woman, naïve and unsuspecting, living a simple life in a world that had yet to show her its darker side. With her bright eyes and innocent smile, Ela as she was affectionately called by those who knew her trusted people easily, her heart warm and her nature kind. Little did she know that her life was about to spiral into a world of danger, power, and obsession.
That world came in the form of Lorenzo Romano.
At thirty-three, Lorenzo was the Don of the Italian Mafia, a man whose name struck fear into even the most hardened criminals. His reputation was one built on ruthlessness, cunning, and a cold, calculating nature that left no room for weakness. His empire, one forged in the fires of violence and betrayal, stretched far and wide. And yet, despite his monstrous reputation, there was one thing that could melt the armor he’d so carefully constructed Isabella. Her innocence, her warmth, and the way she saw him not as a monster but as a man… it captivated him in a way he couldn't explain. He called her Ela, his soft spot, his weakness.
In the shadows of this world stood another, equally dangerous but far more elusive Vladimir Volkov. The leader of the Russian Bratva, Vladimir was a man forged from the blood and fire of the criminal world. At thirty-four, he was as ruthless as they came his ice cold demeanor and steely gaze struck fear into anyone who dared cross him. Yet, when it came to Isabella, or “Elle” as he called her, he was something else entirely. Protective. Possessive. Vulnerable. For the first time in his life, he felt something deep for a woman, something that made him both desperate to keep her safe and obsessed with her in ways he couldn’t control.
And so began the storm that would tear through Isabella’s life, as she found herself tangled between these two powerful men. Each one of them is dangerous in his own right. Each one with his own claim on her heart. Their worlds collided with explosive force, each man determined to keep her, each one willing to sacrifice anything and everything to possess her.
But in this world of crime, loyalty, and deadly ambition, could love truly survive?
In a world where violence ruled and betrayal lurked around every corner, Isabella must navigate a treacherous path. Caught between two Mafia kings each with his own obsession, each more dangerous than the last she would soon learn that in this game of power, there was only one rule: survival. And when pregnancy complicates matters, the stakes become higher than ever before. Will Ela’s heart guide her through the chaos, or will the men she’s torn between destroy everything she’s ever known?
With every choice, her life and their world inches closer to the edge.
