In the quiet of a small New York town, secrets run deeper than blood.
Valentina
I never thought I’d fall for a man like Luca. Powerful. Dangerous.
But there’s something about him I can’t resist. The closer I get to him, the more questions I have.
I want to trust him, but deep down, I can’t shake the feeling that he’s hiding something—and I’m not sure I’ll survive it.
Luca
I’ve spent my life building a vast empire, my hands coated with blood and sweat. And I’ll do anything to keep my family safe.
Including abducting a young woman and forcing her back to Italy, a debt repaid.
But the closer I get to Valentina, the more I lose control. She’s strong and independent, yet innocent in ways that set my blood on fire. She doesn’t know my story, and I’m not sure I can keep it that way for much longer... or if I even want to.
I’ll do whatever it takes to protect her—even if it means risking everything.
