I am Alexandru, the chosen one. The ruler of the Romanian mafie Lupu clan.

I strive to follow in my father's footsteps. I strive to be the perfect head of the family, the perfect son and brother, the perfect... man. In this dog-eat-dog mafie world, a single mistake could end in bloodshed.

After years of conflict with a rival family, my little sister is contracted to marry their son and bring peace. But when the bride runs away and threatens the truce, I need to convince my sister’s best friend, Nina, to help me track her down.

Arranged marriages are common in my world and doing my duty has never been a problem. That was, until Nina grew up into a sexy, little minx. She may be an outsider, she may be forbidden, but she’s the only woman I want.

As our chemistry heats up, a soldier's irreparable mistake starts a war that can only be stopped with the ultimate sacrifice. Myself. Marrying your own kind is the primal rule that reigns over my world, but as I uncover secrets, I learn my perfect father may not have been so perfect after all...
