Amari is a 25 year old therapist, a radiant soul navigating a world that hasn't always been kind. A plus-size African American woman with a heart bigger than her struggles, she faces hardship every day-but never lets it dim her light. Her laughter is contagious, her kindness effortless, and she leaves a mark on everyone she meets, even those who are lost in shadows.
Axel is a man used to power, control, and fear. At 6'4, the married Italian mafia don commands respect, wealth, and danger-but behind his cold exterior, he's drowning in despair and battling thoughts that terrify even him. That is, until Amari appears. A fleeting moment, a genuine smile, a laugh that seems to reach the parts of him he thought were gone forever-and everything changes.
Drawn to her in ways he can't understand, Axel becomes obsessed, captivated not just by her beauty, but by the unshakable light she carries. In Amari, he finds a lifeline he never thought he deserved. And in Axel, Amari may find the most dangerous kind of love-one that could save him, destroy him, or change them both forever.
