"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.
