Alex Moretti has everything - money, power, and a string of lovers who never touch the walls she's built around her heart. By day, she's the cold, commanding billionaire CEO of Moretti Corporation; by night, she moves in shadows that whisper of a darker legacy - one carved by the Italian underworld her family still quietly controls.
Alana Russo, fresh out of college and far from her quiet life in London, wants nothing more than peace - a steady job, a simple future, and distance from the chaos of the world. But when she steps into Alex's glittering empire in Rome, her life begins to unravel in ways she never imagined.
What starts as fascination becomes obsession - and what feels like safety hides danger. Beneath the luxury, the secrets, and the lies, something undeniable sparks between them - something neither woman is ready for.
But in a world where desire is a weapon and trust can cost lives, love might be the most dangerous game of all.
