Strangers-lovers Stories

Dr. Isabella "Izzy" Marquez is a respected trauma surgeon known for her steady hands and strict moral code. She's built her life around saving lives - not entangling herself with criminals. But when a wounded man is rushed into her ER with gunshot wounds and no name, she follows her duty and saves him... only to discover he's Matteo De Luca - the infamous and untouchable mafia boss feared throughout the city. Izzy wants nothing to do with his world of blood and power, but Matteo isn't used to being told no. As he keeps finding ways back into her life, she begins to see the man beneath the crime - broken, loyal, and fiercely protective. Caught between the safety of the life she knows and the thrill of a love she never expected, Izzy must decide: can she love a man the world calls a monster... or will his darkness consume them both? Let me know if you'd like this idea turned into a plot outline, character profiles, or a sample chapter!
