The man who ruined her is the one who might save her... or destroy her all over again.
I survived the De Luca family once.
Barely.
Now I'm living under a new name, in a quiet town that doesn't ask questions. I've built a life out of borrowed time, pretending the past can't reach me.
But you can't outrun men like Matteo De Luca.
He was raised by a monster. Shaped by violence. Destined to inherit a kingdom built on blood.
And I was the girl caught in the crossfire.
But I'm not the same girl he remembers.
I'm done being a pawn in anyone's game-even his.
