Hi, I’m Scarlett Vance — a passionate storyteller of dark, dramatic, and deliciously addictive romance. I write emotionally intense stories where love walks the line between obsession and redemption, danger simmers beneath every kiss, and every character has something to hide.
My novels often feature powerful men, haunted women, forbidden desires, and twists that keep you breathless. If you love mafia kings, protective antiheroes, slow-burning chemistry, and heroines with fire in their hearts, you’re in the right place.
When I’m not writing, I’m probably dreaming up my next dangerously irresistible character or rereading my favorite spicy chapters for “research.”
Welcome to my world — where love isn’t safe, but it’s worth the fall.
She thought that no one saw her.
He never missed a thing.
Emilia Rossi is invisible by design—just another quiet cafeteria worker at the base of one of New York’s most powerful corporate empires. She keeps her head down, hides the bruises, and survives one day at a time. No one knows her secrets. No one sees her pain. That’s exactly how she wants it.
Until he sees her.
Luca Valeri is ruthless. Commanding. Feared. As the kingpin of the Valeri crime dynasty—masked behind the glass walls of his “legitimate” empire—he has no time for distractions. No tolerance for weakness. But the moment he spots Emilia, battered and too quiet, he feels something he hasn’t in years:
Obsession.
He watches her.
Studies her.
Follows her.
And when he sees the bruises on her wrist… the rage becomes personal.
Emilia has no idea the man staring at her from across the cafeteria is New York’s most dangerous king. She has no idea she’s just become his. And she has no idea what it means to be claimed by a man who’s never been told no.
But when her abusive boyfriend crosses a line—and Luca steps in—their worlds collide in a storm of dominance, protection, and dark temptation.
He says she’s safe now.
He says no one will ever touch her again.
He says she belongs to him.
What Emilia doesn’t know yet…
Is that being protected by the king comes with a price.
And once you’re marked, there’s no going back.
