In the shadowy heart of Italy, two unexpected souls collide: an intelligent doctor seeking peace, and a feared mafia boss who rules from the darkness. Between them lies a bitter enmity, shaped by hatred and a past that altered both their lives in a single heartbeat. As they spiral deeper into danger and desire, neither suspects just how deeply their fates are intertwined.
A hidden past connects them—one neither remembers, yet both are bound to. Caught between the allure of the unknown and the darkness of their secrets, their destiny faces its greatest trial. Will they ever remember who they once were to each other? Or will they remain strangers, drawn together by a pull too fierce to resist?
He is the shadow watching her from the dark. She is the missing swan in his life, the one who picks up his unforgettable melody with her wings.
I had been waiting so long for the English release of this book, and let me just say—it did not disappoint!
From the very beginning, I wasn’t sure I would love Zayn—his actions, his reasoning, his darkness—but as the story progressed, I found myself falling for his character in ways I didn’t expect. The slow-burn tension, the chemistry between Zayn and Bala, the twists and emotional depth… everything was beautifully balanced.
Yes, there were moments when I disliked Zayn, when his choices frustrated me, but that only made his growth and his gradual realization of his love for Bala all the more powerful. The way he showed his love—whether through violent protection or extravagant gestures—was both flawed and deeply human, making his character unforgettable.
And that cliffhanger ending… I was not ready. It left me in tears and craving more. Now I can’t wait to continue their story, to fall in love with Zayn and Bala all over again, and to see where their journey leads.
