"She was never meant to be mine. Too young. Too innocent. Too forbidden. But I don't care. I'll ruin her, own her, break her… and she'll beg me for more." *** Lena Moretti is 18, beautiful, reckless, and completely off-limits. As the daughter of a powerful judge, she has no business being anywhere near the mafia world. But when she sneaks into an exclusive underground club seeking thrills, she crosses paths with Luca DeLuca—a man twice her age, dripping in power, wealth, and danger. At 38, Luca is untouchable—the head of the DeLuca crime family, a billionaire with blood on his hands and a city at his feet. Women flock to him, but none of them are her. Lena is too young, too innocent, and the one person he should never touch. Yet the moment he sees her, he knows he will ruin her. When she witnesses something deadly, Luca must claim her—hide her, control her, possess her. What begins as protection spirals into an obsession he can't escape. He's ruthless in his need, and Lena? She's just reckless enough to surrender completely. But their secret won't stay hidden. The mafia wants to use her, the law wants to protect her, and Luca? He'll burn the world before he lets anyone take her from him. Because Lena isn't just his little secret anymore. She belongs to him.
