Aisha Sharma has always lived a lie.
In the stifling confines of her middle-class Mumbai home, she learned the devastating cost of silence. Since witnessing her mother's secret betrayal, Aisha has mastered the art of quiet compliance, masking the profound ache of loneliness and the sting of her family's cruel, financial criticism. Her life is a constant debt to be repaid, her dreams deemed worthless, and her heart a battlefield of suppressed resentment. Obedience is her only shield, and her only escape is her cherished best friend, Riya.
But when her family sacrifices her in a cold, brutal alliance, Aisha's carefully constructed world of submission is shattered.
Dante Volkov is the Iron Fist of Rome.
The ruthless, twenty-nine-year-old Capo di Tutti Capi of the Italian Mafia, Dante governs his empire with cold, surgical precision. Emotion is a weakness he eliminated long ago. This marriage to a docile Indian girl-Aisha Sharma-is not about passion; it's a strategic transaction, a necessary piece of collateral to secure his borders and eliminate his rivals. He requires a wife who is quiet, easily managed, and above all, obedient.
Dante expects a pawn. Aisha is a survivor.
Thrown into the gilded, violent cage of the Volkov estate, Aisha realizes she has traded one prison for a far more dangerous one. Dante demands her compliance, but the haunted vulnerability in her eyes reminds him of the humanity he ruthlessly destroyed. He seeks to control her silence; she seeks the freedom to finally scream.
In a world where love is a liability and betrayal is currency, can a broken girl from Mumbai survive the iron will of the Roman devil?
