"In a world of danger and deception, who can you dare to love?"

Natalia

I knew better than to look at him.

Leonardo Delacruz isn't just dangerous, he's a threat. Silent, ruthless, and a cold shadow in a world where I can't afford to make a mistake. And to make it worse, he's the heir to a rival family.

He doesn't look at me the way other men do. He watches, calculates, sees right through me, stripping me bare with just a glance.

I should be terrified. I should run.

But when his hand grips my waist, when his lips brush my skin like a dangerous whisper, fear isn't what I feel. It's something more intense. Something I can't control.

All my life I've lived by rules, been bound by expectations, my every move dictated by others. Until he came,like a crack in my world, offering a way out. A way into a secret I shouldn't want, a game I can't stop playing.

With him, every risk feels inevitable, even if it means losing everything. Even if it means breaking every rule I've ever known.

Leonardo

Natalia Moretti was never meant for a man like me—too soft, too bright, too damn tempting.

A mafia princess, wrapped in protection like a prized possession, every move watched, every breath controlled.

She's off-limits.

But I don't play fair.

I should walk away before I ruin her, before I drag her into the kind of sins she can't wash off. But when she looks at me like that, like she's already mine... I know I never will. Because once I've had a taste, I don't just keep a woman.

I consume her.
