The Chosen Heir

A war is brewing between love and duty...which shall triumph?
I am Alexandru, the chosen one. The ruler of the Lupu clan.
I strive to follow in my father's footsteps. I strive to be the perfect head of the family, the perfect son and brother, the perfect... man. In this dog-eat-dog mafia world, a single mistake could end in bloodshed.
After years of conflict with a rival family, my little sister is contracted to marry their son and bring peace. But when the bride runs away and threatens the truce, I need to convince her best friend, Nina, to help me track her down.
Arranged marriages are common in my world and doing my duty has never been a problem.
Until now.
She's an outsider. She's forbidden. But she's the only woman I want.
As our chemistry heats up, a soldier's irreparable mistake starts a war that can only be stopped with the ultimate sacrifice. Myself. Marrying your own kind is the primal rule that reigns over my world, but as I uncover secrets, I learn my perfect father may not have been so perfect after all...
