Giovanna Vitorio has always known the world is built on lies — she just never expected to fall for one. As the only daughter of Rome's most powerful mafia don, Giovanna has been groomed to be untouchable. Cold. Calculated. But when a mysterious stranger saves her life in the chaos of a street riot, something shifts. He is different from every man she has ever known — no greed, no fear, no desire for her family's favor. Just quiet strength and piercing eyes that seem to see straight through her. She thinks he is the one honest man in a corrupt world. She is wrong. Luca Harlan is not who he appears to be. Sent by the powerful Castor Family to infiltrate the Vitorio empire from within, his mission is simple: get close to Giovanna, earn her trust, and destroy everything her father has built. But the closer he gets, the harder it becomes to remember which version of himself is the lie. In a city of ancient stone and modern blood, love and betrayal are two sides of the same blade. *How do you fall for someone whose entire existence is a weapon aimed at your heart?*
