Louisa Moreau is an expert at staying alive. A sizzling, skilled bodyguard, she's worked for years guarding her son and warding off the specters of her past. But when she accepts a job with Lorenzo Ricci—a dangerous, cunning mafia don—she never anticipates finding something deadlier than the threat that propels her: desire.

As Lorenzo rescues her father, Louisa finds herself more and more drawn into his lethal game. She vowed to keep her heart locked away, but in the depths of his secret sanctuary, there is flame—blazing, burning, and inescapable. She is finally safe after years. Love in their world, however, is a vulnerability and trust. A death warrant.

And then the trauma that she only just survived comes flooding back. Leonardo Costa—the beast who took her life away—has been closer than she could ever have dreamed. 

And the worst betrayal hurts most: her best friend, Emma Emalila, betrayed her. The one person that she ever had any trust in now has her lost time on his shoulders.
With her son's life in the balance and enemies around every corner, Louisa is forced to make an impossible choice: succumb to revenge or battle for a future that may be lost at any moment.

But the more the war engulfs deeper around her, the darker the truth becomes one that shocks her to her core. Her past is not only haunted by spirits; it's constructed of secrets. 

The father she struggled to save might have been concealing more than foes and the identity she holds on to. It might not even be hers.

She's not a victim—she's a pawn in a game of death that she didn't even realize she was playing. And now, the only way to win… is to find the truth before it devours her.

Rain slashed the darkness like knives, transforming the forest highway into a twisted river of shadow and mud. The black SUV skidded to a halt beside the overgrown estate. In front of the rusty iron gates loomed the abandoned manor—a spooky shell of a mansion draped in a screen of tangled pine trees...
