A recently widowed music producer and father of two struggles to balance parenthood and work-life, and thus, he must go on the quest to find the perfect nanny. But when 'help' appears in the form of a young, timid woman, living a similar life to his last and mirroring his past trauma, a myriad of old unwanted memories come flooding back. And now, it is only a matter of time before he is forced to reopen wounds that have never fully healed.

Dying from a curse that marks his skin with spreading darkness, Sin Blackbriar-the last heir to a fallen noble house-stumbles upon Ivy, an innocent village healer whose light magic could be his salvation. Recognizing that her rare power might save him, Sin begins a careful seduction, intending to use her power to break his curse before disappearing. But as Ivy's gentle touch begins to heal more than just his physical wounds, Sin faces the one thing his years of calculated manipulation never prepared him for: genuine feelings for the woman he intended to use. With his enemies closing in and the curse growing stronger, Sin must choose between his survival and her safety-and for a man who's spent his life using others, love might be the most dangerous magic of all.

And if that wasn't enough, he's also the identical copy of my best friend. The person I hate the most also has the face of the person who means the most to me. And he'll stop at nothing to see me crushed and wither in front of his eyes.

Not to mention the bloody body parts that have started showing up. It's too bad she's not scared of him. Or his unveiled threats on her life. But an emotionally scarred gangster on the run -- riding the brink of insanity and followed by a host of trouble -- is a lot more than she could've bargained for. 𝐌𝐀𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐌𝐎 𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐎 is beyond redemption.

Worse, he can't decide if he should kill or protect her. Massimo doesn't count on Vivienne being the first person to look at him like he's human. Or demons from his past coming back to haunt him.
