The Devil you begged for
When Isla’s family is brutally wiped out one night, she’s left with nothing but blood on her hands and a whispered name: Lorenzo. He’s known in the underworld for being ruthless, cunning, and untouchable, but instead of hating him, Isla runs straight into his arms.
Lorenzo takes her in, feeds her lies, and wraps her up in silk chains. He claims nothing and promises less, but he becomes everything to her, just how he wants it.
The deeper Isla falls into his world, the more she questions what’s real – her rage, her grief, or the twisted attraction between them.
“You can run, Isla,” Lorenzo tells her, brushing her hair from her face. “But the world won’t love you like I do.”
