curiosity kills

Ella moved to Italy for a fresh start-to escape the ghosts of betrayal that shattered her past. She wasn't running. She was reclaiming herself. At least, that's what she told herself.

But fate has a way of pulling the past back into the present.

A chance encounter leaves her tangled with Lorenzo Romano-a man whose name alone sends a chill through the underbelly of Rome. Wealthy, untouchable, feared. A man who isn't used to hearing no. A man who plays games with silence and control.

But Ella isn't someone who follows rules.

Their connection is a slow, simmering storm-one built on unspoken challenges and a chemistry neither of them can deny. He tests her limits. She pushes back. And when her past collides violently with her present, Lorenzo is the one who catches her.

But Lorenzo doesn't catch people.

He owns them.

And now, he's made one thing clear: Ella belongs to him.

But what happens when the girl who refuses to be controlled comes face to face with a man who never loses?

When obsession and desire blur into something far more dangerous?

When the past she tried to escape becomes the very thing that threatens to destroy her?

One thing is certain-Lorenzo Romano doesn't share.

And in his world? What's his stays his.
