𝐄𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐨 | 𝟏𝟖+

𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐆𝐨𝐧𝐳𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐳 has never known mercy. Poverty, abuse, and grief have stalked her every step, leaving her raw and hollow. She thought running away would buy her freedom-an escape from the ghosts that haunt her.

She was wrong.

One brutal encounter drags her into a world far more merciless than the one she fled.

𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐨 𝐃𝐞𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐚 lives by silence and blood. An underboss in the Italian mafia, he's carved his existence out of loyalty and violence, smothering every weakness with cold detachment. His world leaves no room for innocence. No room for mistakes.

Until Lina stumbles straight into his shadows.

She's a witness. A liability. A woman he should erase without hesitation. But when he takes her captive, Elio finds that killing her is far more dangerous than keeping her alive.

Because Lina Gonzalez is not just a mistake-she's a fracture in his armor, a temptation sharp enough to bleed him dry.

And in the darkness they share, Elio must decide if he'll break her... or let her ruin him.
