She was supposed to die that night. Everyone else did. The fire that swallowed the Moretti estate didn't spare anything. Not her brothers, not her father, not even the dogs. But she woke up in a bed that smelled of smoke and expensive cologne, under the roof of the man who ended her bloodline. Luciano Dante. The Devil of Naples. He killed her father and destroyed everything she loved. Now he's the only one keeping her alive. And the worst part? She can't stop wanting him. But why would a man who burns down empires spare one girl?

Elara Kane spent three years under Adrian Cole, the cold brilliant billionaire who never smiled and never thanked her. She endured his criticism, his impossible expectations, and the daily humiliation. But while he dismissed her, she was building an empire in secret. Now she's his biggest competitor, and the man who once overlooked her can't stop watching. He swears he always cared. But even though a dangerous rival threatens to destroy them both, Elara must decide: trust the man who broke her, or let them both burn.
