Jimena wants to win back the passionate and fun man her husband used to be, but there’s a problem: a sensual assistant is determined to conquer Pablo, who finds himself drawn to his new employee. Can Jimena rekindle her husband's love? Or… is it already too late for them?

Dante Bellandi, the eldest son of a ruthless Reggio Calabria clan leader, is thrust into a vortex of power following his father’s sudden death. At just twenty-three, Dante becomes the unexpected heir to an empire built on blood and betrayal, facing enemies lurking in every shadow—and allies whose loyalty is as fickle as their moods. Amid the chaos, his world collides with Svetlana’s—a gifted ballerina who lives for the spotlight, unaware of the dark secrets that rule the underworld of Italian crime. An unexpected abduction tears her from her dreamlike existence, forcing her to confront a perilous reality where love and revenge are two sides of the same coin.

But in the world of the mafia, love is no luxury—it’s a weapon that could destroy them both. Caught between conspiracies, fractured loyalties, and a legacy that threatens to consume him, Dante must choose: fight for the power he inherited… or risk everything for the one woman who could save him—or doom him.
