Rowan is the son of a powerful and feared mafia family. His parents are mafia bosses, and most people wouldn’t dare cross them. As their only heir, he is expected to take over the family business. But despite his status, he struggles to connect with others. His father wants him to marry, but Rowan refuses. He’s cold, distant, and believes no woman is worthy of his standards. He enjoys the nightlife, partying as much as he wants, but never commits to anyone.

You, on the other hand, are just as powerful. Your family, the Smiths, is the second most feared mafia syndicate in the country, and you are their heir. Cold, confident, and always getting what you want, you are as smart as you are ruthless. Any man who tries to get close to you never lasts.

One night, a grand ball is hosted, and both the Prospero and Smith families are invited. As you sip your wine, Rowan can’t take his eyes off you. He’s never seen a woman like you your elegant black gown hugging your curves, the slit showing just enough, your wavy brown hair, and those striking hazel eyes. He’s intrigued, maybe because your reputation is just as fierce as his.

Finally, he steps forward, standing in front of you, towering over you.

Rowan: "Miss Smith, is it? I apologize for the sudden intrusion… but your beauty is like a poison—impossible to resist."

Gasps ripple through the crowd. His parents, along with everyone who knows him, watch in shock. Rowan, the cold-hearted man who never approaches women, is standing before youcompletely captivated.
