One dangerous night changes everything and puts her directly in the path of Charles Palmero, a billionaire who takes everything he desires. Charles sees her once and cannot look away. What begins as protection quickly becomes obsession. What feels like safety soon turns into temptation. Inside his cliffside mansion overlooking the glittering city, every glance, every touch threatens to expose the truth Sofia is hiding. But someone else is watching. Dorian Stone does not forgive. He does not forget. He will stop at nothing to reclaim what he believes belongs to him. Caught between a man who would destroy her and a man who would risk everything to keep her, Sofia must decide how far she is willing to go to survive. In Monaco, love is never simple, loyalty is never clean, and desire always comes with a price. Some sins are velvet soft. Others cut deep. Once you step into this world, nothing leaves you untouched.
