𝗔𝘇𝘇𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗮 𝗔𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗼: She was born into a past she never asked for. What her father left behind was never meant to find her. Her mother spent years trying to keep that past buried, giving Azzurra a life untouched by the secrets that came before her. She never knew the truth about the man whose name she carried, or the darkness that followed it...

But the sins of the dead have a way of finding the living.

Until the past she knew nothing about came looking for her.

𝗔𝗹𝗲𝗸𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗿 𝗞𝗼𝘇𝗹𝗼𝘃: He knew exactly the kind of man he wanted to become. He wanted to become the kind of man who never needed anyone to fear him twice. He had built a life where mercy was weakness and fear was power. Those who crossed him rarely got the chance to make the same mistake twice. He never forgave betrayal, and he never allowed weakness to become a reason for mercy.

Then came Azzurra Amoretto...

To him, she was nothing more than a pawn. A piece to move, a weakness to exploit, something he could break before she ever became a problem. Azzurra refused to become the pawn he expected.

But what happens when the man who built his life around control finally meets the one thing he cannot control?

"You called me a pawn," I said, holding his gaze.

Aleksandr's gaze hardened.

"I was wrong."

"About what?"

His eyes dropped to my lips.

"About thinking I could let you go."
