Nina Bianchi, an art student, has always been drawn to excitement, but no one excites her like Lorenzo De Luca, her best friend Demi's older brother. Dark and tempting, Lorenzo has always been off-limits. When Demi invites Nina to Italy for her 21st, she hopes for a relaxing trip, but with Lorenzo there, everything changes. Their hidden feelings burst into flames, and Nina discovers a passion she never expected.
"You've always looked at me like I'm a puzzle you want to solve," Lorenzo murmurs, his hand tracing the line of her jaw, sending shivers down her spine. "Ready to play, Nina?"
"Maybe," she whispers, her breath catching in her throat as his fingers linger. "But some puzzles are more dangerous than they seem, Lorenzo."
"And danger," he replies, his eyes burning into hers, "is always more thrilling." He leans closer, his breath ghosting over her lips. "Tell me, Nina...are you thrilled?"
"You know I am," she whispers back, her eyes half-closed.

Nina discovers a side of herself she never knew. But Lorenzo's life is full of secrets, a darkness that could destroy them. Can their passion survive the drama, or will it burn to nothing?
