Andrea
I've loved Stefano Cammareri for as long as I can remember. Not the silly kind of crush you outgrow, but the kind that brands itself into your bones.

He's my brother-in-law's youngest brother. He's dangerous, brooding, and so far out of reach it hurts. Every look, every stolen glance, only deepens the ache. But Stefano always pulls away, reminding me I should find someone safe. Someone normal.

So when a charming stranger makes me feel wanted, I take the risk … and walk straight into a trap.

Stefano
She thinks I don't want her. I know I can't give her what she deserves. But Andrea Rossi has owned me from the moment she first smiled at me, and I've been fighting that truth ever since.

When she's taken by the cartel to strike at my family, every wall I've built shatters. I'll spill blood, burn cities, and destroy anyone who stands between us. Because Andrea isn't my weakness, she's my reason.

Darkness is safer than love. Violence is cleaner than desire. And this time ... I won't walk away.
