“Lorenzo…” her voice broke into a soft moan, her body arching as unseen hands claimed her in the dark. She shouldn’t want him. She shouldn’t even be thinking about him. But her body didn’t listen. And when Lily Caldwell finally finds herself in Lorenzo Cross’s arms, fantasy doesn’t just become real, it consumes her. What was supposed to be one mistake turns into something far more dangerous. Because Lorenzo isn’t gentle. He isn’t kind. And he doesn’t let go. Bound by desire and shattered by guilt, Lily runs back to the man she promised to marry, hoping to bury what happened and reclaim her life. Instead, she walks straight into betrayal. The man she trusted has been living a lie. The life she tried to protect was never hers to begin with. And the one man she’s trying to escape? He sees everything. Her weakness. Her hunger. Her need. Lorenzo Cross doesn’t chase women. He studies them. Breaks them. Owns them. And Lily? She’s already his… whether she’s ready to admit it or not. Now caught between a past built on lies and a future ruled by obsession, Lily must decide, Run from the devil… Or surrender to the fire that’s already burning her alive.
