Synopsis:
Aria Santoro ran from her mafia father's world years ago and never looked back. She built a new life at Harvard, far from the violence and bloodshed. But when her father is dying, she has no choice but to return home—and face Luca Moretti, her father's dangerous consigliere and the man she's wanted for four years.
The attraction between them is instant and overwhelming. One night together turns into an obsession neither can control. Luca is possessive, protective, and completely consumed by her. He promises her everything — his loyalty, his body, his future.
But then Aria discovers Luca's been hiding a devastating secret. Something that changes everything she thought she knew about him. The betrayal shatters her completely.
Now enemies are closing in, her father's empire is crumbling, and Aria has to decide: walk away from the man who broke her heart, or stay and fight for a love that might destroy them both.

Chapter: ~ 5Chapter 5The conference room of Santoro Hotels' Paris headquarters was all glass and steel, thirty floors above the city. Aria sat at the head of the table in a black sheath dress that was perfectly professional — and absolutely not.The hem hit just above her knee. The neckline was a shade too low. And when she leaned forward to review the quarterly reports, she knew exactly what angle Luca had from his position by the door.She could feel his eyes on her like a physical touch."As you can see, Monsieur Beaumont," she said to the hotel manager across from her, "occupancy rates have dropped three percent over the last quarter. That's unacceptable."Beaumont shifted uncomfortably. He was fifty, experienced, and clearly didn't appreciate being lectured by a twenty-two-year-old woman, mafia princess or not."The market has been challenging, Mademoiselle Santoro. Tourism is…""Tourism to Paris is up seven percent." She tapped the report with one manicured nail. "Which means we're losing

Chapter: ~ 4Chapter 4Luca opened the door for her, and she swept past him without a word. She remembered the way to her old suite — west wing, third floor, overlooking the gardens. Her heels echoed as she climbed the stairs, intensely aware of him following three steps behind.Her rooms were exactly as she'd left them: cream and gold, elegant and impersonal. Someone had put fresh flowers on the dresser.Luca followed her inside, checking the windows with professional efficiency, scanning for threats."You can go now," Aria said."I'm your bodyguard. Where you go, I go.""Even in my bedroom?""Especially in your bedroom." He finished his inspection. "This suite has three entry points. The door, the balcony, and the service entrance through your closet. I'll be sleeping in the adjoining room.""Of course you will." She laughed bitterly. "This is insane. You realize that, right? Last night you're fucking me, today you're my shadow."His expression didn't change. "Last night was a mistake. This is m

Chapter: ~ 3Chapter 3Aria woke to an empty bed and the sound of the shower running.For a moment, she let herself savor the pleasant ache in her muscles, the memory of Luca's hands on her body, his mouth trailing fire across her skin. Then reality crashed back in, cold and unforgiving.What had she done?She sat up, pulling the sheet around herself, and spotted her clothes folded neatly on the chair. Her sweater, her jeans… everything she'd torn off in desperation last night. The careful organization felt like a rebuke.The shower cut off. Her stomach tightened.Luca emerged moments later, fully dressed in a fresh suit his dark hair damp and slicked back. He looked every inch the consigliere again: composed, controlled, untouchable.He didn't quite meet her eyes. "The jet is ready. We leave in forty minutes."That was it? That was all he had to say?"Luca…""Get dressed." His voice was flat, professional. "We're on a schedule."Something cold settled in her chest. "Are we really going to pretend

Chapter: ~ 2Chapter 2Aria felt something break inside her — four years of restraint, of pretending she'd forgotten him, of trying to be someone other than Vittorio Santoro's daughter. The whiskey had melted her filters, and she was so tired of fighting."I've wanted you since I was eighteen years old," she said. "I used to lie awake at night in Provence thinking about you. Imagining what it would feel like if you touched me. Kissed me." She moved toward him. "I'm not eighteen anymore, Luca.""Aria…""Tell me you don't want me. Tell me you never thought about it. All those times you found excuses to be near me that summer. The way you watched me. Tell me I imagined it."His control was fracturing; she could see it in the tension of his shoulders, the rapid pulse at his throat. "You didn't imagine it.""Then stop fighting it.""I work for your father. You're…""I'm what? Off-limits? Forbidden?" She closed the distance between them, tilted her face up to his. "I'm tired of being something people pr

Chapter: ~ 1Chapter 1The professor's voice faded the moment Luca Moretti walked through the lecture hall door.Aria's pen stilled mid-sentence, her pulse suddenly loud in her ears. Six foot three of Italian lethality moved down the aisle with predatory grace, his dark suit tailored to perfection, gray eyes scanning the room until they locked on her.Four years since she'd last seen him, and her body still recognized him like a match to gasoline.Professor Hunter paused mid-lecture about corporate governance structures as Luca approached her row. “Excuse me,” Professor Hunter called out but Luca continued walking like Hunter was invisible. Students turned to stare. He commanded attention effortlessly, the kind of presence that made people instinctively straighten their spines."Miss Santoro." His accent rolled over her name like a caress and a threat. "I need you to come with me."Her stomach dropped even as heat pooled low in her belly. Nothing good ever came from her father sending his consig
