He was never supposed to touch me.
I was never supposed to fall in love with the man who owns the city's shadows.
Gabriela Vasquez knows how to survive. In a world ruled by silence, secrets, and powerful men, she's learned to keep her head down - especially around her cruel family. But everything changes the night she meets Adriano Valentini - the cold, commanding mafia boss with eyes that see too much and a touch that burns through every rule she's ever known.
He's dangerous. Untouchable. And obsessed.
What starts as an impossible attraction spirals into a war of desire and loyalty, pain and protection. Gabriela becomes the one thing Adriano can't control. And when secrets from their past explode, she realizes the most dangerous place isn't by his side...
It's in his heart.
Dark. Addictive. Obsessively passionate.
This is not a love story - this is survival.
