Lila, a driven woman focused on advancing her career, crosses paths with Zane, a dangerously powerful executive at Horizon Pictures who secretly controls a mafia operation. From their first meeting, the chemistry between them is undeniable, pulling them into a twisted dance of lust, tension, and denial. Zane is engaged to the cold and calculating Alexandrina, chosen for her influence, not for love, but he can't shake his obsession with Lila.

Lila, stuck in a relationship with Ryan-a manipulative narcissist who's cheating behind her back-starts questioning her life when Ryan suddenly proposes. Zane, having seen Ryan kissing another woman outside a club, recognizes the truth but neither Lila nor Ryan are aware of the tangled web they're both trapped in.

As Lila and Zane's encounters grow more intense, Zane struggles to keep control of his secret life, his emotions, and his empire, while Lila vacillates between attraction and suspicion. Secrets, power, and betrayal hang over them, setting the stage for an explosive collision where desire and danger blur all boundaries.All Rights Reserved

Her only downfall is a dark past that is being used against her in a blackmail-fueled bargain with her father's right hand man. The only way to escape this unwritten contract is to protect her father's business by getting answers out of their largest competitor - who just so happens to be protected by the Italian mafia.

"𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐨𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐝, 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐚." Natalia glared at Lorenzo and tried crawling away from him once more, every cell in her body screaming for her to run as far away as she could. "How many times do I need to cum before you're satisfied?" Natalia panted against him, desperate noises leaving her mouth as the sixth orgasm started building in the pit of her stomach. Lorenzo pulled her closer when he sensed the girl crawling away, ignoring her whimpers as he grew rougher. "Until you realise this is a punishment, not a reward." "And when has excessive orgasms ever been a punishment?" "Let's see if you'll think the same in a few hours." ❦ Natalia Martin was simply on a work trip. Simply on a work trip when she happened to meet Lorenzo Valiente, not knowing that meeting him would change her life. But neither had Lorenzo. His status as capo dei capi had never had any effect on the clueless one-night stands he fucked until then. And it was not like he had intended to put a million-dollar bounty on the young successful career woman's head. He just thought that her eyes were pretty. That her dimpled cheek was cute. And that her bright smile made his heart skip a beat.
