Ashes Of Desire: A Forbidden Love

On the rugged cliffs of Sicily, where Mount Etna smoulders and the sea whispers of secrets, a forbidden love takes root. Isabella, spirited daughter of a fallen family, is promised to Marco Bellini — a ruthless man whose wealth hides a cruel ambition. But her heart belongs to Lorenzo, a man of passion and defiance, whose every glance burns brighter than the Mediterranean sun.

Drawn together by fate and torn apart by power, Isabella and Lorenzo must choose between surrender and defiance, between silence and a love that could set the island aflame. As betrayals mount and storms gather over the Bellini villa, their story twists toward ruin, redemption, or legend.

Ashes of Desire is a sweeping Gothic romance, steeped in Sicilian fire and shadow — where love becomes both a curse and a salvation, and where two souls may be bound forever in the ashes of passion.

Yet between them stood a name heavy with gold and blood, a man whose pride could choke the land itself.

The tale is not written in books, nor carved in stone. It lingers in song, in shadow, in the hush of women spinning wool on winter nights, in the wary glance of fishermen when the sky darkens.

Some say it was love that saved them. Others claim it was love that doomed them.

But all agree on the cliffs of Sicily keep their secrets, and those who loved too greatly walk still among the olive trees, bound forever in the ashes of desire. Rated '1/5 - Glimpses and kisses' for steam/spice/heat level.
