He knelt down in front of me, his movements slow, deliberate. I blinked, startled, as he reached into a small box, pulling out two diamond anklets. They sparkled under the light, and for a moment, I just stared at them in awe. "I bought these for you," he said softly, his voice almost reverent as he lifted my leg gently onto his knee. I felt my breath catch in my throat as he held my ankle with a tenderness I wasn't sure he even realized he was capable of. Ayla Elrayes and Rowan Faris are brought together through an arranged marriage-a union set up by their powerful families.

Their journey is a delicate balance of duty, personal growth, and learning to embrace the deepening bond between them. From navigating their cultural traditions to dealing with Rowan's mafia responsibilities, both Ayla and Rowan must come to terms with their individual desires and obligations in a world that seems to hold so much against them.
