"When power meets innocence, only obsession survives." Florence was supposed to be her dream. For Saira Sharma, a twenty-year-old fashion student, the city meant sketchbooks, coffee, and sunlit art galleries - not danger, not secrets, and certainly not him. Victor Romano is a man Italy bows to - ruthless, commanding, and impossibly alluring. At twenty-nine, he believes in control, loyalty, and power, not innocence or chance. When their worlds collide, velvet meets steel. She is softness in a city of stone. He is vengeance wrapped in luxury. Saira never expected to be thrust into a life of wealth, danger, and control. Her days shift overnight from ordinary to extraordinary. He controls, he protects, he frustrates... and somehow, he makes her heart race in ways she can't resist. But their marriage isn't just about passion. Threats lurk in the shadows, secrets from the past bubble to the surface, and every choice could change their lives forever. Every glance between them sparks fire. Every word is a challenge. Every touch threatens to shatter the careful lines they've drawn around their hearts. In Florence, love is never gentle. It's obsession. It's ruin. It's a war only one of them can win. Once Victor Romano sets his sights on you... there's no turning back. "When velvet touches meet a mafia's vengeance - love becomes the most dangerous game." Can Saira survive the pull of a man as dangerous as he is captivating? Or will their love ignite a fire too fierce to control?
