Ian D'Souza, a gifted surgeon known for saving countless lives, suddenly finds himself on the other side of the scalpel. After witnessing a crime that no one was meant to see, Ian's world spirals into chaos. His life is now in the hands of Masimo Delvis, a fearsome mafia leader with a heart as cold as the bullets he wields.
Masimo, poised to inherit the mafia throne, gives Ian an ultimatum: "Either die by this bullet or marry me to stay alive." Torn between his will to survive and the fear of what life as Masimo's husband might entail, Ian agrees to the marriage, setting the stage for a dangerous and twisted relationship.
But Masimo, despite his ruthless exterior, feels an unexpected warmth whenever Ian is near a warmth that both confuses and scares him. As the two navigate the treacherous waters of their forced union, they must confront not only the dangers of the mafia world but also the secrets that threaten to tear them apart.
In a world where trust is a luxury and love is a risk, can Ian and Masimo find a way to a happily ever after, or will the truth shatter the fragile bond they've begun to forge?
