My Lustful Love

Three years have passed since the night Emerald's world was torn apart. At twenty‑eight, she has rebuilt herself in the spotlight - her modeling career soaring, her voice filling arenas, her name whispered in magazines and music charts. But fame doesn't erase scars.

Max, now thirty‑five, remains entrenched in the mafia empire that has defined his life. Orion is gone - killed by Max's hand - but the shadow of violence lingers. He raises their children with a possessive devotion, his love for Emerald still burning, even as distance and betrayal keep them apart.

Emerald isn't alone. Erion Braham, her father's Albanian assistant, stands at her side. They share nights, but not hearts. Their bond is convenience, not passion. Because no matter how far Emerald runs, no matter who she lies beside, Max is always there - in her blood, in her undoing.

When paths cross again, careers, children, and loyalties collide. Emerald must decide if she can surrender to the man who destroyed and saved her, or if she'll keep running from the love that consumes her.
