Luca and Haven are the intertwined male and female protagonists in the novel *Arranged Love*. In this novel full of tension and conflict, the female protagonist, Haven, is a young college student. The sunshine and laughter on campus color her life. Like all her peers, she dreams of the future, explores knowledge, and enjoys the beauty and freedom of college days, with a pure longing for love. The male protagonist, Luca, as a member of the Italian - American Mafia Bianchi family, has been immersed in a dark and cruel world since childhood. Under the absolute power of the family, he grew up amidst bloodshed and violence, accustomed to concealing himself with a cold mask, struggling to survive in the whirlpool of revenge and conspiracy. *Arranged Love* tells the thrilling and forbidden love story of Haven and Luca, two lovers with vastly different identities, caught in the clutches of fate.
Haven's life was like a calm lake until Luca intruded without warning. After they got to know each other and fell in love, Luca often disappeared without any notice, ignoring all of Haven's messages and even skipping school courses. This left Haven in endless confusion and anger. She had no idea about the dark and mysterious Mafia world behind Luca, and could only guess his whereabouts and intentions alone in repeated waiting and disappointment.
On the other hand, under the authority and mission of the family, Luca was involuntarily pushed onto a bloody path. When Luca was ten years old, he witnessed his father shoot and kill his uncle during a fierce internal family conflict. His uncle's desire to break free from the Mafia life ended in tragedy, and his aunt was also humiliated and threatened. This bloody scene was deeply engraved in Luca's heart, becoming his first experience of the cruelty of family rules. At the age of twenty - two, he had become a sharp blade for the family to carry out tasks. Once, his father ordered him to "hunt" an enemy. In the deep mountains and dense forests, he carefully set traps and cornered the target, Bernard. Facing Bernard, who was struggling in pain in the bear trap, Luca and his companion, Nite, not only physically tortured him but also mentally destroyed him, cutting off his tongue in a bloody revenge.
Meanwhile, Haven's friend, Jasmine, was enraged after being heartlessly dumped by her boyfriend, Trenton. She hatched a revenge plan, planning to slash Trenton's car tires and smash his windows. Haven, feeling bored and frustrated due to Luca's cold - shoulder treatment, agreed to join. On campus, they ran into Cross, a member of the Dark Kings. Cross rushed out of the men's bathroom recklessly and knocked Jasmine down, leading to a conflict. There seem to be intricate connections between the Dark Kings and the Mafia, causing the originally peaceful campus life to be filled with undercurrents.
The love between Luca and Haven is like a flower blooming on the edge of a cliff, beautiful yet precarious. Luca's Mafia identity is like a hanging sword, which could bring disaster to Haven at any time. Haven's simple campus life is incompatible with the dark world where Luca lives. How can they bridge this huge gap in identity? Can Haven understand and accept the dark world behind Luca? What will be the future of their love?
