In the dark and dangerous world of mafia king Viktor DeLuca, everything bends to his will—until he steps into a quiet library, chasing a traitor who stole from him. In that moment, amidst the silence and rows of books, his world shifts. Viktor's attention is snatched not by the criminal he hunts, but by the sight of a delicate, innocent librarian, Emma Collins. Her soft, unassuming nature and pure innocence create an instant obsession within him. Emma, a middle-class girl with a simple life, has no idea who Viktor is. She spends her days lost in books, unaware that her quiet sanctuary will soon be shattered. Viktor is captivated by her in a way that’s new to him—this isn’t love at first sight, it’s an obsession that clouds his mind and takes over his heart. Determined to have her, Viktor sets his sights on Emma’s life. Knowing he can't win her over through traditional means, he uses his influence and power to force her parents into a marriage arrangement. Emma, confused and frightened, is thrust into a world she doesn't understand. As Viktor’s bride, she will have to navigate the dangers of his life, his fierce possessiveness, and the fact that her innocence is the only thing holding him back from total madness.
