"When Love is War" Vera Devereaux's world was shattered the moment Dante Mercier's family betrayed her father leaving her family's name in ruins and her every move laced with vengeance. She swore to make them pay, to burn the Mercier legacy to the ground. But fate has a twisted sense of humor. At a glittering gala where enemies wear smiles like weapons, Vera and Dante's paths cross-and the war between them begins anew. But this isn't just a battle for revenge. This is a battle of wills, of pride, of something deeper-something darker. As Vera's hatred for Dante consumes her, a force she can't deny pulls her closer. The man she despises might be her greatest enemy-but also the most dangerously captivating thing she's ever known. And he's not backing down. With every sharp word, every cruel glance, Dante ignites a fire inside her that she can't extinguish, a fire that burns with equal parts fury and desire. They are forced together in a deadly game of power and manipulation neither willing to give in, neither willing to lose. But what starts as a war of destruction turns into something far more perilous. In the fight to ruin him, Vera risks losing herself. In a world of lies, betrayal, and shattered loyalties, Vera must decide: hold fast to her hate and finish what was started, or surrender to the chaos that Dante brings with every stolen glance, every broken rule. When love is the battlefield, there are no victors-only those who survive the war.

Mehrunisa Aftab was born into a life of silk and power, the daughter of Rafay Aftab, a formidable business tycoon whose influence stretched across industries and politics. Her world was one of grandeur-where whispers carried secrets, alliances were forged over lavish dinners, and privilege was as much a weapon as it was a shield. But power is never truly safe, and neither was she. Betrayed by those closest to her, Mehrunisa is torn from the life she was meant to inherit and thrust into a world of darkness-smuggled into the underbelly of society, where power is taken, not gifted.

Her path leads her to Zuvi Raza, a powerful politician who unknowingly becomes both her pawn and her passage back to the world she once ruled. As she climbs her way back into influence-this time on her own terms-Mehrunisa must decide: is reclaiming her father's empire enough, or is there something far more powerful she seeks? A story of betrayal, survival, and calculated power, "The silk and chains" follows the rise of a woman who refuses to be forgotten.
