When We Touch, We Burn

Lorenzo Valenti isn't just the new heir to a mafia legacy he's a man with control tattooed into his bones, built to lead with cold hands. Eva? She's a woman who's lived too long in shadows, surviving by withholding everything especially her body, her name, and her trust.

They meet in a place too quiet for monsters, where secrets are supposed to be buried, not reborn. But one look is enough.

What starts as tension turns to obsession.
What starts as control turns to ruin.
What starts in silence ends in sex that feels like war.

As Lorenzo unravels under the weight of inherited blood, Eva begins to see how much of herself she's forgotten to bury and how dangerous it is to let him touch what she's hidden.

Betrayal, violence, secrets, and murder orbit them. But it's the moments alone mouth against neck, hand in hair, breath against skin that might destroy them first.
