> They say falling in love is beautiful. But what if you're falling for someone who might have killed your sister?Lyra Santiaga doesn’t believe in love. Not anymore. Not after her older sister vanished five years ago—last seen getting into the back of a black velvet-lined car owned by the infamous “Mister D.”And now, that same man—who’s never been caught, who runs a private empire with whispers of blood, drugs, and high-class women—just offered Lyra a job.As a live-in secretary.In his house.With a curfew.And rules like “Never go to the third floor” and “Don’t ask questions you can’t handle the answers to.”But Lyra is desperate. For revenge. For answers. For closure.What she doesn’t expect is the slow, consuming, dangerous pull toward Damien Virelli—the man with the coldest eyes she’s ever seen and the softest voice she’s ever heard.He’s arrogant. He’s obsessive. He’s hiding something.And at night, behind closed doors... he’s everything she shouldn’t crave.But how do you resist the devil when he makes you laugh... and he touches you like sin?
