Ruined by Desire
Luca Moretti is the kind of man women are warned about.
A billionaire playboy with a permanent smirk, a yacht full of secrets, and a reputation built on reckless nights and broken hearts, Luca lives for pleasure—not commitment. The tabloids worship him. The world envies him. And he’s never met a woman he couldn’t charm… until Sienna Vale.
Independent, ambitious, and completely unimpressed by his money, Sienna crashes into Luca’s glamorous world by accident—and instantly becomes the one woman he can’t stop thinking about.
What begins as shameless flirting and irresistible chemistry quickly spirals into something far more dangerous. Late nights in Monaco. Private jets. Hidden kisses. Headlines. Fights that burn as hot as their passion. For the first time in his life, Luca wants more than one night.
But loving a man like Luca comes with a price.
Because behind the charm and luxury is a man terrified of being truly known. And the deeper Sienna falls into his world, the harder it becomes to protect her heart from the chaos surrounding him.
He was supposed to be a temporary mistake.
Instead, he became her greatest temptation.
And she might ruin herself loving him.

Chapter: No Strings Luca had lied - the water was freezing. Sienna surfaced beside the yacht gasping while Matteo howled with laughter nearby. "You said it was warm!" she shouted at Luca. Luca looked entirely unapologetic as he treaded water beside her. "I said Monaco was warm." "You're the worst." "And yet you jumped." Yes, she had. Sienna swam with the others back toward the lower swim platform attached to the yacht and Matteo hauled himself onto the platform first and held his hand out to help Sienna up. "Oh absolutely not" Luca muttered as he climbed onto the platform before her in one smooth movement and knocked Matteo out of the way to offer help to Sienna. She took his hand and he helped her onto the deck and almost directly into his very bare and muscled chest. And once again, Sienna forgot how breathing worked. Her dress clung to her skin now, which would've been humiliating if Luca wasn't looking at her like he was trying not to touch her. "The sexual tension is becoming unbea

Chapter: Midnight SwinSienna should've gone home after the paparazzi scare. Instead, she was standing barefoot on the deck of Luca Moretti's yacht at nearly midnight holding a glass of champagne she hadn't asked for while Monaco glittered around them like spilled diamonds."This is how people get murdered," she informed him.Luca leaned against the railing beside her, looking unfairly attractive in a black shirt with the sleeves rolled to his forearms."You think I invited you here to murder you?""I think billionaires are statistically suspicious.""That feels offensive.""It's meant to." His quiet laugh drifted across the water.After the disaster at lunch, Luca had somehow convinced her to come aboard Euphoria again under the argument that she "owed him one calm evening without paparazzi." Sienna still wasn't entirely sure why she'd agreed. Probably because he looked at her like she fascinated him. Which was becoming a serious problem."You're thinking very loudly," Luca said."I'm questioning my life c

Chapter: The Unexpected RescueSienna blamed boredom for agreeing to lunch. Definitely not the flutter in her stomach every time she read the messages."You're going?" Theo asked over the phone."It's lunch, not marriage.""That's how billionaire disasters begin."Sienna rolled her eyes while checking her reflection in the mirror. Minimal makeup, hair down and a simple black dress with spaghetti straps that fell just above her ankles and had a slightly risky split to her mid thigh. She kept telling herself it was to keep cool in the Monaco autumn heat."I can hear you overthinking," Theo informed her."I'm not overthinking.""You changed outfits, didn't you?"Silence."Oh my God," Theo groaned. "You like him.""I barely know him.""That wasn't a denial."Sienna ended the call before he could get more insufferable and five minutes later, she was stepping out onto the sidewalk trying to ignore her nerves.Luca had chosen a restaurant overlooking the marina. It was beautiful with white stone walls, soft music and ocea

Chapter: The Dare"You're smiling at your phone again." Luca glanced up from the breakfast table inside the yacht's lounge to find his best friend Matteo watching him."I always smile," Luca replied smoothly."Not like that."Matteo dropped into the chair across from him. "Who is she?"Luca set his cup down slowly. "You assume there's a woman involved.""You're a billionaire with emotional issues. There's always a woman involved."Luca kept drifting back to the messages from Sienna. Particularly the last one from her and he smirked at the memory of her sarcasm."What's the smile for?" Matteo demanded.Luca leaned back in his chair and stretched his arms above his head. "I met someone interesting last night."That immediately got attention. His cousin Alessia looked up from her coffee. "Interesting?"Emilia came through the door wearing sunglasses and judgement "She insulted him," Emilia answered. "Repeatedly."Matteo blinked. "You let someone just insult you?"Emilia grinned. "He's obsessed."Luca scof

Chapter: The Headlines and ScandalsWhen Sienna wandered down the street from her apartment, she was astounded to see Luca's face staring back at her from a magazine rack. She stopped walking so abruptly that someone behind her bumped into her and muttered angrily. But she couldn't tear her eyes away from the cover of Monaco Elite.It was a picture of Luca stepping out of a black sports car in a perfect suit and dark sunglasses while women crowded around him. The headline underneath read:MONACO'S MOST INFAMOUS PLAYBOY STRIKES AGAINSienna stared at it for a second longer before smiling. That looked like the perfect headlines for him. She carried on toward the small café near her apartment, but curiosity kept tugging at her and by the time she sat down with her order, she'd already read three different articles about him.According to the internet, Luca Moretti was somewhere between billionaire investor and international disaster. Articles described him as reckless, charming, and "dangerously addictive to women." One he

Chapter: The Champagne TroubleSienna should have left ten minutes ago, when she turned away from Luca Moretti. Actually, she should have left the second she realized she'd wandered onto a billionaire's private yacht instead of a fashion afterparty. But he kept looking at her like she was the most interesting thing on board. Unfortunately, that made leaving difficult."I still think it's insane nobody stopped me getting on this boat," she said.Luca leaned against the bar beside her. "Confidence is everything here in Monaco.""That explains a lot." Sienna scoffed, not really knowing where her confidence was coming from. She was normally quiet around new people until she had them figured out.His mouth curved. "You disapprove of rich people because of your job or just recreationally?"She thought for a moment before answering: "Both.""Harsh.""I'm sure you'll survive.""Maybe." His gaze dragged slowly over her face. "I suddenly feel the need to impress you."She blushed heavily. "That sounds exhausting for both of
