I was sent to destroy him. He took me instead. Luca Marino is everything I was warned about, ruthless, untouchable and the kind of man who doesn’t ask twice. When I crossed his world, I expected death. What I got was something far worse. But undeniably captivating. He doesn’t break me with violence. He plays a far more dangerous game, watching, waiting, unraveling every secret I swore to protect. He sees through my lies, senses my weakness. And the worst part? He likes it. Every touch is a test. Every glance, a trap. The real trap isn’t him finding out who I am. It’s me forgetting. Forgetting that I was sent to destroy him. Forgetting that, in the end, only one of us can walk away. And most especially forgetting that, despite everything, I might not want to. In a world built on betrayal and blood, falling in love might just be the biggest risk of all.
