He was supposed to be invisible - safe, obedient, forgettable.
She was never supposed to want him.
Alessia grew up in the shadow of a man feared by many and loved by few. As the daughter of a powerful crime boss, her world is built on silence, control, and sacrifice. Love has no place in it - especially not for someone like Elliott.
Elliott was taken in by the family to serve, not to belong. Loyal. Quiet. Ruthless when called upon. He knows the rules; protect Alessia, don't touch what's not his, and never forget who owns him.
But years of shared glances and stolen moments blur the line between duty and desire. When the family's empire begins to crack under the weight of grief, betrayal, and blood, Alessia and Elliott must decide what's worth risking; their loyalty - or each other.
A searing, emotional romance full of forbidden tension, dark secrets, and  heat.
