ADRIANO
I've never been the kind of man who asks permission.
I'm a Vittorio. Power runs through my veins, loyalty is written in blood, and when I want something, I take it.
Then Alessia Pearce walks into my club, and suddenly, everything I've ever wanted has a name.
Anima mia.
My soul.
There's just one problem. She's the daughter of a man who would happily put a bullet in me for looking at her the wrong way.
Unfortunately for him, I've never been particularly good at following rules.
And when it comes to Alessia, there isn't a line I won't cross or a war I won't start.
Because the moment I claim her, there's no fucking chance I'm letting her go.
ALESSIA
I've spent my entire life surrounded by dangerous men.
My father. My brother. An entire motorcycle club that thinks protecting me is a full-time occupation.
I know how their world works, and I've had enough of being treated like something fragile.
Then Adriano Vittorio comes along.
Arrogant. Sinfully gorgeous. Infuriatingly possessive.
And completely unimpressed by the fact that he's supposed to stay away from me.
He doesn't look at me like I'm something that needs saving. He looks at me like I'm everything he's ever wanted.
The problem?
I'm starting to want him just as badly.
But loving a man like Adriano means stepping into a world where loyalty is everything, enemies don't play fair, and some secrets refuse to stay buried.
I've spent years fighting for control of my own life.
Now I have to decide whether the most dangerous thing I could do is trust a man who would burn the world down for me.
He was never supposed to want the biker princess.
She was never supposed to fall for the mafia prince.
Neither of them was ever going to follow the rules.
