She has spent years watching men like him manipulate the law, hide behind wealth, and escape justice.To her, Luca DeMarco is nothing more than a criminal wearing an expensive mask.But the night they meet at a high-profile charity gala, everything changes.Their first encounter is explosive. Their second is even worse. What begins as a battle of words quickly turns into a dangerous game of power, pride, and undeniable attraction.And this is because Alessia does something no one else has dared to do.She refuses to bow to him.While others fear Luca, she challenges him at every turn—calling out his threats, questions his authority, and refusing to be intimidated by the dark world he controls.Instead of angering him, it fascinates him.For the first time in years, Luca finds himself intrigued by someone he cannot control. Alessia’s defiance ignites something inside him—something possessive, obsessive, and impossible to ignore.The deeper Alessia digs into the investigation against the DeMarco family, the more dangerous her situation becomes.
