A Dark Mafia Arranged Marriage Romance
π₯ Protective Don x Ballerina Bride • High-Heat • Standalone HEA
When a plaza hit shatters her quiet life, community dance teacher Nyra Solano is thrust into a truce marriage with the city’s most controlled predator: Cassian Vescari, a protective, possessive don who believes ‘possession means safety first.’ What begins as a strategic alliance to stop a brewing mob war turns into a slow-burn-to-inferno romance—full of consent, aftercare, and vows kept in blood and breath.
As sabotage, fake ledgers, and a crooked ‘Bell Restoration Fund’ point to City Hall and a traitor in their ranks, Nyra and Cassian must choose each other in the dark: she brings the brains and bravery; he brings the armor—and both bring the heat. Together they’ll reclaim a city’s bell, expose the frame, and learn a new language of power: truth, shelter, retribution… and warning.
π Expect: razor-tension banter, reverent spice, protective hero worship, and a heroine who can cut with ‘delicate.’
π Stay for: a public reclamation, a silk-scarf talisman on a bell, and a love that sounds like order after chaos.
