I went to a rooftop gala hunting a story.
I left with a ring… and the city’s most dangerous man watching my every breath. 💍
I’m Aria Cole—investigative journalist, truth addict, stubborn enough to chase corruption into dark corners. He’s Damian Valtieri—mafia billionaire, kingmaker, a possessive antihero who doesn’t just own the room; he owns the city. One glance, one overheard conversation, and my life detonates. A forced marriage to protect me… or cage me? Depends who tells the story. I decided to take the pen back. 🗞️
Headlines call me traitor. His rival calls me weakness. Damian calls me wife. Between a ruthless empire and a media storm, I learn two things: the danger is real… and so is the heat I refuse to name. He’s knives and velvet. I’m truth and fire. Enemies-to-lovers was never the plan—but survival makes liars of us both. 🔥
When the city demands a queen, I choose to stand beside its darkest king—on my terms: consent, honesty, no cages. And when war comes for us, I burn my past to save our future. 🖤
