The name **Luca** is enough to silence a room. King of the Underworld. Ruler of shadows. A ghost even the law refuses to chase. His empire is built on violence, betrayal, and bodies no one dares to count. He does not speak twice. He does not leave witnesses. Mercy died the day he first picked up a gun. He is cruel to the world. He is lethal to anyone who looks at her too long. And for her... he becomes something almost gentle. Almost human. Almost soft. Almost. --- She is softness in a world that never deserved her. **Lily** is light-pure, untouched, and blissfully unaware of the darkness waiting just beyond her little bubble. She believes in morning coffee, quiet laughter, and happy endings. She still thinks love is supposed to be kind. Until he decides she belongs to him. And the moment someone dares to lay a finger on her, Luca does not simply arrive. He brings war. She becomes his obsession. His addiction. His only reason to keep breathing-and the only reason he is willing to burn the entire world to ash. There is no escape from his grip. No hiding from his gaze. No running from the twisted fate that has already claimed her. But what happens when the angel starts falling for the demon? What happens when she begins to see the fractured, dangerous good buried beneath all that blood? She was never supposed to love him. He was never supposed to let her live long enough to try. Now neither of them has a choice. --- **#1 in Kidnapped** **#56 in Bad Boy × Good Girl** **#58 in Possessive** **#1 in lovable**
