At 23, Gabriela is a mosaic of scars. After surviving a childhood nightmare led by a "friend" who was a monster in disguise, she only wants one thing: a quiet, stable life. Along with her best friend Leah, she manages to get hired at Vance International, a titan of the corporate world.
But stability is a lie.
Her new boss, Liam Vance, is a man of shadows and silence. He is powerful, dangerously attractive, and commands the room with a single cold, grey stare. Gabriela finds herself falling for him, drawn to the strength she thinks will finally protect her.
What she doesn't know is that Liam's silence isn't a shield-it's a weapon. Beneath the tailored black tuxedo and the CEO title lies a high-ranking member of the Mafia. Gabriela thought she had escaped her past, but she has just walked straight into a world where secrets are deadly, and the man she loves is the most dangerous monster of all.
In his world, love is a liability. In her world, he is the ultimate trauma.
