Shadows of Desire
In the heart of a city ruled by fear, Isabella Moretti has always kept to the shadows-avoiding the power plays and dangerous alliances that shape her world. But when her life unexpectedly intertwines with Lucas Voss, the cold, enigmatic leader of a notorious mafia family, everything she's worked to protect begins to unravel.
Lucas is a man of few words, a predator who commands the room without ever raising his voice. Ruthless, calculated, and utterly untouchable, he's a figure of terror in the criminal underworld. Yet, beneath the layers of darkness and control lies a man haunted by a past he can never escape.
As Isabella is drawn deeper into Lucas's world, she finds herself torn between the growing attraction that threatens to consume her and the chilling reality of the life he leads. With every touch, every whispered word, their slow-burn connection deepens, but so do the dangers surrounding them. Love in the shadows comes with a price, and as their worlds collide, neither of them may survive the storm that's about to break.
"Shadows of Desire" is a dark, slow-burn romance filled with intrigue, passion, and the undeniable pull of a love that could either heal or destroy.
