Spotlight In The Shadows

In the glittering chaos of New York's fashion world, Sophie Laurent is pure sunshine - a radiant, mid-size model whose bright smile and unbreakable optimism light up every runway.

Luca Moretti is the opposite: the ruthless, brooding Don of the Moretti crime family. He rules from the shadows with ice in his veins and zero tolerance for weakness. Love? A dangerous distraction he's never allowed. When Sophie's exclusive photoshoot at Luca's exclusive nightclub accidentally captures the wrong kind of evidence, their worlds collide. Now the most powerful man in the city won't let her leave - not until he's sure she's not a threat.

Trapped in his luxurious penthouse, Sophie refuses to dim her light. She bakes cookies in his cold kitchen, teases him with silly nicknames, and slowly chips away at the walls around his heart. Luca tells himself he's only keeping her close for her safety.
But the longer he's near her warmth, the more he craves the one thing he's always denied himself. As rival mafia families close in and danger circles closer, Luca must decide: protect his empire... or risk everything for the woman who brought sunshine into his shadows.

A steamy, grumpy x sunshine mafia romance about finding light in darkness - and discovering that sometimes the greatest risk is letting someone love you.
