He's called Stone for a reason. Cold. Untouchable. Deadly.
And now... hers.
When innocent, big-hearted Celest takes a live-in nanny job at the Grimaldi estate, she only wants to escape her past and start over. But nothing could prepare her for Enzo Grimaldi-the brutally handsome, emotionally frozen billionaire who answers to the name STONE, he has a secret darker than the halls of his mansion.
They say never look a monster in the eye.
But Celest doesn't just look-she stares.
And Stone stares back.
Beneath his tailored suits and cruel silence lies something dangerous.
He's not just a businessman. He's mafia royalty.
She was hired to care for a child.
She never expected to fall for a monster.
And monsters don't let go easily. One kiss, and she's no longer safe.
One secret, and she may never escape.
