He watched her.
He chose her.
Now he’s done waiting.
Luca Santoro is the Outfit’s most feared enforcer; cold, precise, and lethal without remorse. When a quiet ER nurse saves his life and asks no questions about the bullet in his side, something inside him snaps into place.
Francesca “Frankie” Mancini becomes his.
For three months, Luca watches her. Learns her routines. Memorizes her smiles. Tells himself he’s protecting what’s his, long before she ever agrees.
When he finally steps into her life, it’s no accident. No coincidence. He’s already decided how this ends.
Frankie senses the danger beneath Luca’s charm, but attraction blurs every warning sign. Until the truth shatters her sense of safety; photos she never posed for, doors unlocked by hands that shouldn’t have keys, a man who knows her better than anyone ever has.
Now she’s trapped in his world, caught between terror and temptation. Luca is ruthless to his enemies, merciless to anyone who threatens her and disturbingly gentle when it comes to Frankie.
As rival families close in, Luca becomes the monster he was born to be.
And Frankie must choose:
Run from the man who stalked her…
or stay with the devil who would burn the city down to keep her.
A dark stalker romance with obsessive devotion, moral gray lines, and a dangerous happily ever after.
