If I wanted the world burned down, you’d burn it for me too?”For the first time that night, he smiled.Slow.Dangerous.Beautiful enough to feel like a warning.“No,” he said quietly.Ivy raised a brow.Matteo stepped closer, one hand sliding around her neck gently, possessively, until her breath caught.“If you wanted the world burned down, sweetheart…” his light-brown eyes locked onto hers, “I’d hand you the match and stand beside you while it happened.”Ivy Carter only wanted a job.She never expected to become Matteo De Luca’s obsession.
