Desire is a flame, but in the wrong hands, it becomes a chain-one that binds tighter with every spark. When Luna wakes in a stranger's bed, her memory hazy and her body clothed in unfamiliar silk, she finds herself staring into the eyes of Lorenzo De Luca-a man who commands the world with a gaze as sharp as his words. He claims to have saved her, but there's something about his smirk that feels like a trap she's already fallen into. Lorenzo isn't just a man of power-he's a man of secrets, ruling an empire built on shadows and silence. For reasons even he can't understand, he's drawn to Luna's fire, her defiance, and the innocence she doesn't even know she possesses. But in Lorenzo's world, every action has consequences, and every favor comes at a price. Luna owes him for saving her from a disaster, but his protection comes with strings, velvet chains that pull tighter with every moment. As desire and danger intertwine, she must decide: fight against the binds of a debt she never asked for, or discover if surrendering to them is the only way to survive."

If you like fantasy/romance you should try my story The Flower Longed Death. It is written a LOT better than this one is! -------------------------- "You must've got the wrong impression if you keep expecting to get away with shit like this, so let me make things clear," He says with a calm smile. He moves his face closer to mine, losing the lighthearted grin that had previously cooled my nerves. I get a better look at the scar across the bridge of his nose, and the vague one X'ed onto his lips. Now I want them even more. -------------------------- Eighteen year old Mileva never thought her past would catch up to her after leaving years ago to live in New York City. She didn't think she wanted it to. However, she also didn't think she would cross paths with a guy like Valen, the Italian Mafia's heir. He's only twenty three, but he's somehow the most attractive and intimidating man she has ever met, let alone heard of. Mileva battles her anxiety adjusting to this new life of hers, while Valen is just getting comfortable with his new obsession. -------------------------- Word count: 110,000 There is a lot of graphic content, so please read carefully! List of specific warnings can be found in the introduction. The writing gets better as the story progresses, I promise.Complete
