I was never supposed to fall for Luca Moretti. He was cold. Untouchable. Dangerous. And after our parents brought our families together, he became the one man I was forbidden to want. Luca made it clear from the beginning that I meant nothing to him. He pushed me away, warned me to stay out of his life, and looked at me like every feeling between us was a mistake. So why was he always there when I needed him? Why did his cold eyes soften only when he looked at me? And why did it feel like he was fighting something inside himself every time we were alone? I tried to stay away. I really did. But the closer I got to Luca, the more secrets I uncovered. His mother was hiding something. His past was darker than anyone knew. And the family that brought us together wasn’t built on the truth. Then I discovered the one secret that changed everything. Luca was never who I thought he was. The man I was told I could never love was hiding a past that could destroy us both. And if the truth comes out, our forbidden obsession won’t be the only thing that falls apart. Because sometimes the most dangerous love story begins with a family lie.

Five years of marriage ended with a folder on the kitchen counter, one day after Olivia caught her husband with his first love in an unfinished hotel suite—and heard him blame her for walking in on it.

Five years later, he walks into a Milan exhibition hall as a favor to a friend—and finds his ex-wife standing beside two children with his exact eyes. He has a fortune, a name, and a company built to get him anything he wants. Only this time, there are two more heartbeats standing between them—and the second chance isn't his to ask for.
