LOGINShe was innocence wrapped in temptation. He was the devil who ruined everything she loved. When twenty-year-old Lila is sent to spend the summer at Damien Wolfe’s isolated estate, she steps into a world of luxury, control, and ice-cold stares. Damien is powerful, commanding, and twice her age, exactly the type of man she should fear. But Lila didn’t come here by chance. She came with a purpose. Because Damien Wolfe isn’t just her godfather’s old friend, he’s the man who destroyed her mother’s life. The man Lila has dreamed of confronting since she was old enough to understand betrayal. But nothing prepared her for the pull between them. For the way his darkness draws her in, or the way her touch makes him unravel. What began as quiet revenge turns into something far more dangerous—DESIRE. And when the truth surfaces, it will either ruin them both… or bind them forever in the most twisted love of all.

Lila’s eyes sparkled with anticipation; she’d been drinking in the view through the window and could hardly wait to get out. But when she reached for the door handle, her hand was gently stopped.“Huh?” she murmured, glancing at Damien.He smiled, the corners of his mouth curving with quiet amusement. “Gentlemen open the door for their ladies.”A slow grin tugged at Lila’s lips as she watched him step out of the car, circle around, and open the door for her.“Thank you,” she said softly.“Shall we?” Damien asked, extending his hand toward her.“We shall,” Lila giggled, slipping her hand into his. Together, they walked toward the boutique’s entrance, the morning sunlight glinting off the glass doors.“Who taught you these things?” she asked as they strolled side by side, curiosity dancing in her tone.Damien’s lips curved into a faint smile. “I believe you don’t need to be taught to know the right t
At Silvano’s mansion, everyone in the household could tell he was delighted by his daughter’s arrival. Although he was still grieving Vladislav’s death and had promised Damien he would pay his last respects, nothing could truly conceal his joy; it was unmistakable.“Darling, I’m thinking of hosting a welcome-back party for you tomorrow night. What do you think?” Silvano asked Grace as they walked into the dining area, where an abundance of food was spread like a feast.Grace’s face lit up with excitement. “Yes, Dad. You’ll invite him too, right?”Silvano’s brows knitted. “Invite who?” he asked.“Him. What’s his name again? Damien Wolfe. Yeah, Damien Wolfe. I’d love to meet him again, Dad,” Grace said, her eyes gleaming.Silvano remained silent as he took his seat first, while Grace sat across from him at the table.Silvano remained silent as he took his seat first, while Grace settled across from him at the table.“Where is this coming from, sweetheart? Trust me, I owe the man a lot f
Lila didn’t know how long they kissed; time blurred into the soft press of lips and the slow, startling warmth that spread under her skin. When Damien finally broke away, the room felt too big, the men were gone and the silence that followed was loud enough to make her blood roar in her ears.She stumbled back a half-step, cheeks burning, eyes darting anywhere but his. “Y—you can’t just kiss me in front of them like that,” she said, voice small but shaking enough that he could hear.Damien said nothing. He closed the space between them again with a single, deliberate pace, his hand sliding to her waist. The contact was both claim and comfort; his palm was steady, anchoring her. Then he tipped her chin up with a fingertip so she couldn’t look away, his face inches from hers, his breath warm and steady.“I don’t plan to hide what I feel for you from anyone anymore,” he said, each word measured, almost ordinary and infinitely dangerous. “I want to unleash everything, and I’m ready to kil
Grace couldn’t peel her eyes away from Damien as they got out of the car one after the other and strolled into the airport, where Silvano’s jet and his men were waiting.She had been staring at Damien ever since his conversation with Lila had ended in the car, watching how his face turned cold again, as if the smile that had just softened his features had never existed.Something about that switch fascinated her. The way his warmth disappeared the moment he hung up, as if the man on the phone and the man before her were two entirely different people.She didn’t understand why it made her chest ache. Or why her heart fluttered each time her gaze stayed on him for too long.A slow smile tugged at her lips as she watched his back — the long strides, the restless pace. He wasn’t walking; he was almost running. It was like every step was pulled by something waiting for him at the other end of the world.“I want a new dress,” she said suddenly, loud enough for them all to hear.Everyone sto
“Dial it again,” Rex said, watching Graves try Damien’s number for the third time. Still not reachable.“Let’s just drive to Pinebend,” Graves muttered, kicking the engine to life. Before the car moved, Rex’s phone lit up with Blade’s name.He snatched it up instantly.“Where was the boss’s last lo
The basement room reeked of smoke and fear, a stark contrast to the glittering casino floors above. A woman sat tied to a chair in the center, her wrists raw from struggling against the rope, her breathing shallow and panicked.Yelena circled her slowly, heels clicking against the concrete with del
Lila melted into him, answering his kiss with the same desperate fervor. By the time his mouth left hers, she was trembling, breathless, her body alive with longing. Hunger burned in her eyes, mirroring the fire she saw in his, and it took every ounce of willpower to pull away from him.“Your wound
He stopped at the foot of the stairs, pulling off his fedora with deliberate calm. His gray-threaded beard caught the light, and the cold curve of his mouth made Yelena’s stomach drop.“Uncle…” she whispered, her voice breaking. “Why would you do this? I’m your blood!”“Blood?” His laugh was sharp
