Loyalty is sacred; betrayal is unforgivable.

Des, a young doctor who has always followed his parents' expectations, is inexperienced in love and life. That all changes the night he operates on a dangerously handsome patient. Des's growing attraction quickly turns into an irresistible desire.

Othello, bound by loyalty to his family's code, has just been named the successor to Verona Heights' most powerful underground organization, La Famiglia Romano. With immense responsibility weighing on him, he believes there's no room for love—until a certain doctor catches his eye.

As passion ignites between Des and Othello, a dark conspiracy against Othello threatens to tear them apart and endanger their lives, forcing them to confront their fears and desires.

Can they survive the treacherous forces working against them, or will their love be destroyed forever?

This modern-day retelling of Shakespeare’s Othello is filled with betrayal, loyalty, romance, and a little love at first sight. Part of the Twisted Bard series, where multiple authors bring the Bard’s timeless tales into the present.
