THE TASTE OF HIS HEAT

He's cold as ice. She's warm as fire. But fate isn't asking-it's demanding.

Vincenzo Li Fonti is a ruthless, untouchable billionaire-the kind of man who doesn't need to raise his voice to silence a room. Feared by his enemies, respected by his allies, and adored only by his young son, Vincenzo rules both boardrooms and backrooms with terrifying precision. Love? It's a weakness he cannot afford.

Bianca Romano is a struggling yet stunning lady of no recollections of her roots and grows up in an orphanage, working job to job with her fierce best friend, Natalie, just to survive. Eight years ago, her life shattered when her newborn son was stolen from her.

Now, a single night of passion with a stranger pulls Bianca back into a world she thought she'd never touch. That stranger? None other than Vincenzo himself.

When Vincenzo discovers Bianca is carrying his child, he gives her no choice: Marry me or I take the baby. Out of fear-and haunted by the child she lost-Bianca agrees, thrown into a cold, opulent world where danger whispers in every shadow and love is the last thing anyone believes in.

But beneath Vincenzo's icy surface lies a man deeply loyal to those he loves. And Bianca's fire? It might just be the only thing that can melt him.

As secrets unravel-including the shocking truth about Bianca's stolen child and she uncovers her origin-Bianca must navigate betrayal, obsession, and vengeance. And when enemies strike to destroy everything she's built, Vincenzo's dark, deadly world will rise to protect her... or consume them both.

In a story where nothing is as it seems, and everyone has something to hide, one thing is certain:
Love was never the plan-but fate doesn't care about plans.
