Mara Estrella is thirty-two, invisible, and exhausted.
She lives in the margins of life-quiet, overworked, and slowly disappearing beneath other people's needs. After one too many nights caring for strangers who never remember her name, she accepts a strange new job: live-in caretaker to a comatose patient in a private estate. Triple the pay. No questions asked.
She just has to be quiet. Careful. Invisible.
That's the one thing she's good at.
Until he wakes up.
Luciano Vescari, 25, heir to a feared mafia empire, wasn't supposed to survive the car bombing that killed half his family.
He wasn't supposed to remember anything.
But he remembers her voice.
And now that he's awake, he wants one thing: the woman who kept him alive with nothing but a whisper.
He's young, dangerously beautiful, and absolutely unhinged.
He touches her like he's starving. Tells her she belongs to him.
And when she tries to leave, he only smiles.
"You kept the devil warm, sweetheart. Now he's going to return the favor."
Dark. Obsessive. Addictive.
A slow-burn, age-gap, morally gray male lead and a romance with heavy tension, emotional scars, and twisted devotion. He's not the hero. But he's hers.
