She was nobody. A waitress with thirty-seven dollars and a dead phone battery, standing in the wrong alley at the wrong time. He was Luca Moretti. The most feared man in Chicago. A name whispered in boardrooms and back alleys alike never loudly, never twice. One rainy night changes everything. Sofia sees what she was never meant to see, and now Luca has two choices: silence her, or keep her close. He chooses close. She tells herself she's a prisoner. He tells himself she's a liability. But somewhere between stolen glances and dangerous secrets, the lines between protection and possession begin to blur. In his world, love is a weakness. Enemies are everywhere. And wanting her may cost him everything he's built. But Luca Moretti has never walked away from what's his. And Sofia Carver is his.
