CAMILA
All I wanted was a quiet life for my son.
No drama. No dangerous men. No reminders of the world my father came from.
Then Pietro Romano walked into my life.
Cold, powerful, and far too interested in a woman like me. A man whose name carries whispers, whose smile feels like temptation wrapped in danger. He buys my silence with kindness I never asked for. He protects me in ways I never expected. And worst of all, he looks at me like I already belong to him.
I should stay away from him.
Men like Pietro ruin lives.
But the more he steps into my world, the harder it becomes to push him out. Because behind the ruthless reputation is a man who protects fiercely, touches slowly, and looks at me like I'm something he refuses to lose.
And the scariest part?
I'm starting to want the very man I should fear most.
PIETRO
I don't chase women.
They come to me, stay for a night, and disappear by morning.
Then Camila Castillo pointed a threat at me while holding a baby in her arms.
Sharp mouth. Soft eyes. A woman who refuses to bow to the kind of power I carry.
Strength.
The kind that survives betrayal. The kind that protects with claws and teeth when necessary. The kind that refuses to bow even when standing in front of a man like me.
She fascinates me.
Infuriates me.
And the moment she walked away from me, I knew one thing for certain.
I wasn't letting her go.
Camila thinks she can keep her distance from my world.
She's wrong.
Because once I decide something is mine…
I don't stop until it is.
