I wanted to forget. But he reminded me of everything. And now… I belong to him.
I learned how to breathe without a sound. How to move through the shadows before they swallowed me whole. I thought I’d left him behind—the man with the eyes that have haunted me for years.
But he always finds his way back into my life. His voice is the whisper that crawls into my mind when the night turns too quiet. His touch is the fire I pretend to hate—and yet reach for the moment it burns out.
I’m the Capo’s daughter—born in blood, trapped between loyalty, fear, and forbidden desire. Around him, my walls start to crack. The pain I buried twists into something darker… something dangerously close to passion. He says he wants to protect me.
But who protects me from him? And what if the part of me that wants to be saved… is already gone?
