Born to Protect

Adrian Moretti is a Don who built his empire on control, loyalty, and blood. In his world, love is a liability-and protection comes at a cost measured in bodies. He has survived by never letting anyone close enough to be used against him.

Until Sora.

Sora has spent her life running-from men who want to kill her, from secrets powerful enough to start wars, and from a past soaked in violence she never chose. Quiet but resilient, she knows how to survive in the shadows.

When their worlds collide, Adrian becomes her shield-and in doing so, breaks every rule he lives by. Protecting Sora draws the attention of Viktor, a brutal russian boss whose reach is absolute and whose methods are merciless. One warehouse burns. Lines are crossed. War becomes inevitable.

But Sora refuses to remain hidden while others bleed for her. When Viktor targets Adrian's family, she makes a choice that drags her directly into the war-risking her life to save the people she's come to love.

In a world ruled by power and betrayal, Adrian and Sora become each other's greatest weakness-and their deadliest strength.

Love is no longer a luxury.

It's a declaration of war.
