Synopsis
"Family, sometimes they are the shelter from the storm. Sometimes they are the storm!" Dior Marcano never expected her life to change in a single night. One moment, she's trying to understand what her stepfather was up to. Next, she wakes up tied to a chair, staring into the piercing eyes of one of the most feared men in the criminal underworld. Phillipe Ricci, better known as Buddha, is a man haunted by a past he can't escape. Cold, ruthless, and burdened by dark secrets. Buddha has spent years building a wall around his heart. Love is something he can't think to entertain, and trust is a luxury he can't afford. When circumstances force Buddha and Dior into a marriage neither wants, sparks fly from the very beginning. Can a marriage built on obligation grow into something more? Or will the secrets of the past destroy their chance of finding true love?
