That moment you have scary nightmares you never knew you were linked to.

Sixteen-year-old Paola Sherman has lived in fear her entire life. Abandoned by the only family she has-her cold, unloving mother-she finds herself haunted by a sinister figure lurking in her nightmares. A creepy skeletal man watches her from the shadows, tormenting her night after night. Every night, he comes closer. Every morning, she wakes up gasping for air.

But when the horrors start creeping into her reality, she realizes he isn't just a figment of her imagination-he's real. And he wants her dead.  

When her history teacher announces a class trip to uncover secrets buried in the past, Paola is horrified. They're walking straight into the nightmare she's been trying to escape. She knows she must stop them. But something inside her is desperate for answers.  

Who is the man haunting her? Why is she connected to him? And what will happen when the truth is finally unmasked?  

A chilling tale of love, trauma, and terror where the past refuses to stay buried.

Join Paola as she embarks on a horrendous journey.

"𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐩, 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚." Olivia groaned and crossed her arms, standing her ground. "Don't tell me what to do. You're not my dad." Amusement filled Santino's gaze as he stood up, abandoning the papers he desperately needed to read and sign. Yet, all that was forgotten as her bewitching lips protruded. "I might not be your dad but," a midnight lock of hair was pinned behind her ear, "I can be your papi." Shuddering, her body drew closer to him, betraying her mind. "You're sick." Taking the nape of her neck, Santino leaned down, his lips brushing against her ear. "Yet you still dream about my touch, don't you, principessa?" ❦ When Santino Adriano discovers that the Bratva has betrayed their neutrality by secretly working with his family's enemies, he's determined to send a brutal message that cannot be ignored. His target? The Bratva kingpin's sister, Olivia Morozov-a sheltered girl who knows little to nothing about the dark underworld her family controls, having been shielded from the darker truths of her family's empire her entire life. Fresh out of boarding school and blissfully oblivious to the power struggle boiling beneath her feet, Olivia is suddenly whisked away from everything she's ever known and thrust into a world where loyalty is weaponised and power is the ultimate prize. As secrets and long-buried lies unravel around her, she realises she's caught in a game where the unrelenting fight for power holds more value than human lives-including her own. Santino is cold, calculating, and relentless - everything Olivia should fear. Yet, she is intrigued by by his deadly nature. The line between fear and attraction is thin, and like a moth to a flame, she seeks him out, unafraid of the burn it may cause. She's never known anyone like him-an older, dangerous man who makes her question everything she thought she knew about desire. Olivia just didn't expect her captor to be so handsome.
