It All Started With Hatred

Synopsis

Petal Santos, a woman living with physical disabilities, is thrust into a cycle of vengeance due to her father's criminal activities. After failing to save the wife and child of underworld figure Ethan Wilson, she becomes the target of his wrath, despite having previously rescued his sister. This novel reads like a dark mafia romance, leaning heavily into the enemies-to-lovers trope and themes of forced redemption. It is designed for readers who enjoy high-stakes emotional angst and intense romantic tension; however, those who prefer lighthearted stories or dislike revenge plots should avoid it. The narrative focuses on a slow-burn emotional evolution, with its standout quality being the unique perspective of a disabled protagonist navigating a high-danger environment.
