Alessia never believed in fairy tales. Life had taught her that happy endings were a cruel illusion. Struggling to care for her sick mother, sheâs spent years working dead-end jobs, her sharp tongue and stubborn nature ensuring she never stayed anywhere for long. Now, sheâs a bartender in a shady Sicilian bar, juggling rowdy customers and a boss who thinks a raise is only for women willing to strip.
Then he walked in.
Luca Romano is a man of few words but commands a room with his presence. The whispers about him are conflictingâbillionaire, recluse, criminal mastermind. Women throw themselves at his feet, but his cold, detached demeanor makes one thing clear: he doesnât care about anyone. Yet when Alessia crosses his path, everything changes.
What begins as a business arrangementâa desperate woman agreeing to play the role of his date for one nightâquickly spirals into something much darker. Lucaâs possessiveness knows no bounds, and Alessia finds herself drawn into a world of power, danger, and unrelenting desire.
But Luca has secrets as deep as his scars, and his love is anything but gentle. Heâs a man consumed by vengeance, his methods ruthless, his emotions raw. Alessia thought she could handle his intensity, but the closer she gets, the more she realizes thereâs no escaping him.
He doesnât just want her. He owns her.
And as their twisted romance unfolds.
