Thirteen years ago, Carlo Moretti watched the girl he loved slide into a tomb—
though lies were the only thing buried in there.
They told him she was dead.
They told him to forget her.
He couldn’t.
When a single phone call reveals Francesca Rossi is alive,
Carlo will do anything to get her back.
He and his best friend must return to Sicily—the one place he swore off forever.
To confront the father who abandoned him.
And face a world of secrets, power, and blood.
The past didn’t just take her from him.
It shaped the lie that destroyed them both.
Taking her will ignite a war.
But losing her again?
That would destroy what little humanity he has left.
For fans of dark mafia romance, forbidden love, second chances, bisexual heroes, found family, and emotional high stakes.
Please note: This story is intended for over 18s.
Triggers Include: Kidnapping and Captivity. Open-door Spice scenes including between two men. a man and a woman, and memories of two men with a woman.
Genre: Gay Romance
