She thought she had escaped the world of crime.
He crossed an ocean to drag her back into the dark.

Gaia believed she was finally safe—far from the shadows of her family's mafia ties. In her new life, she trusted the kindness of strangers, smiled at the wrong man... and stepped straight into his trap.

Alexey is everything she should fear:
a man with a seductive smile, a wicked sense of humor, and eyes that promise both danger and desire. Behind his charming façade hides a ruthless predator, determined to break the one treasure the Savoia family has kept hidden—Gaia herself.

She wants freedom.
He craves her surrender.
Between them burns a chemistry as intoxicating as it is lethal.

When innocence meets obsession, masks shatter, and the line between love and destruction blurs.
Gaia must decide if she can resist the man who has become her greatest temptation—or if the darkness behind his smile will consume her whole.
