The Man my Daughter Chose
Meet Zina Aurelius - a master of control and composure. A world-class cardiothoracic surgeon, the perfect wife on paper, and the mother of a little girl who means more to her than anything else. Her marriage is a transaction, her emotions locked away, and her life meticulously arranged - until one moment threatens to unravel everything. Her daughter meets him first. Giovanni Russo. A man who moves through the world like he owns it - all quiet dominance and undeniable presence. The kind of man Zina has spent a lifetime avoiding. But to her daughter, he's a fascination. A favorite. A force she runs to without hesitation. And the way he looks at Zina? It's nothing short of dangerous. She tells herself it's nothing - that their worlds won't intertwine. Until she finds out her husband answers to him. Now, Gio is everywhere - watching, waiting, pushing her toward something she's not sure she can resist. He doesn't ask for permission. Doesn't pretend to be anything less than a man who takes what he wants. And the way he looks at her? Like he sees the parts of her she's kept buried for too long. After years in a loveless marriage - trading passion for security, desire for duty - Gio is a fire she isn't ready for. One that threatens to consume everything she's built. But the question isn't if she'll burn. It's how long she can stand the heat.
