About Ten Rules That Lock My Heart Away

Sold by her ruthless uncle into a brutal trafficking syndicate, she narrowly breaks free only to end up purchased by a feared mafia heir and locked inside Dark Island, a luxurious fortress governed by ten rigid rules she dares to defy. Trapped in a gilded cage where emotion is fatal, she relies on sharp wit and courage to survive. She painstakingly restores his late mother’s cherished heirloom watch, unmasks a high-stakes art forgery, and quietly dismantles every emotional wall the cold crime lord builds around his wounded heart. As bloody mob infighting and bitter family treachery explode across the syndicate, deadly secrets surface. Though he takes bullets to shield her from danger, he desperately tries to push her away, warning that a dark monster like him has no right to love. Yet when rival gangs ambush their empire in a ferocious port shootout, she refuses to flee. Charging into the firefight with a gun in hand, she risks everything to stand beside him. United against impending ruin, they destroy the illicit empire and honor a sacred promise to reclaim their stolen freedom. Emerging triumphant from ashes and gunfire, she rises as the revered sovereign of the island and the fearless author of her own destiny.
