Ten Commandments Imprison My Heart

Sold by her uncle into a human trafficking camp, she escapes, only to be bought by a crime lord’s son and taken to Dark Island—a gilded cage governed by ten rules. She repairs his late mother’s watch, exposes a priceless fake, and gradually finds her way into the secrets he keeps locked away. He takes a bullet for her and wipes out his enemies, yet pushes her away time and again: “We have no future.” But she returns, gun in hand, determined to keep him alive. As drug lords turn on one another, families fracture, and a port erupts in gunfire, he finally abandons the drug trade and makes his mother’s final words—“Choose your own life”—a reality. She becomes the island’s lady, and the author of her own life.
