Craving Her Secrets

"You were always being watched, mia bella."

𝙑𝙀𝙍𝙉𝙊𝙉 𝙁𝙀𝙍𝙍𝙄
A ruthless twenty-nine-year-old Mafia Don, Vernon Ferri is a man haunted by violence, betrayal, and a past soaked in blood. As the leader of one of the most feared crime families, he's built his empire on intimidation, manipulation, and power. Vernon thought he had everything under control. But when she walked away, it was more than just the end of their relationship-it was the disappearance of the one thing that could finally end his reign. A pendant, a secret memento, one that could unravel everything he's built and send him to prison for life.

Driven by fury and vengeance, Vernon is determined to find her. But as he watches her, he realizes he never truly let her go. Keeping her at a distance becomes impossible, especially as he falls deeper into the web of lies he thought he'd untangled. She wasn't just any woman-she could destroy him, yet she's the one he needs most.

Once a brilliant FBI agent, now a quiet university professor. Anelie Lane wants nothing to do with the high-stakes life she once led. The bureau's games cost her more than just her career-it destroyed her relationships and fractured her heart. She walked away from it all the moment she betrayed the one man who had come to mean something to her. But leaving Vernon behind wasn't as simple as it seemed. As much as she wants to forget the man who once consumed her, there's one thing she never let go of: the pendant.

Now, with him closing in, Anelie, or Sophie Covington is what she told him her name was, must play her hand carefully. She's learned the art of deception, but he is a master. The stakes have never been higher, and if she isn't careful, her past will not only destroy her-but the people around her.
