She stopped believing in love the day she found the truth.
He started believing in it the moment she ran into him.
Niyara Reddy doesn't do love. Not anymore.
The daughter of a man who built his entire life on beautiful lies, she learned early that the heart is simply the most elegant trap ever constructed. So she built walls - quiet, immovable, impeccably designed - and filled the space inside them with ambition, her mother's Sunday calls, her seven chaotic best friends, and work that never once betrayed her.
Then she got a job offer in Milan. And she was late for her flight. And a man stood in her way like a wall someone forgot to label.
Three seconds of eye contact. One lost bracelet. One irreversible collision.
Dante Salvatore De Luca doesn't do feelings.
Known as Il Diavolo Nero - The Dark Devil - to an underworld that fears him like a force of nature, he is cold, merciless, and precise. He loves exactly eight people on this earth and has no interest in adding to that number. He certainly has no interest in the woman in the red dupatta who crashed into him at Gate 14B, looked at him like an obstacle she'd already decided to go around, and left a silver swan bracelet on the airport floor.
He tells himself he'll return it.
He carries it in his pocket for weeks.
Now she's in Milan. He's arranged to be in every room she walks into. His jaguar adores her. His family has adopted her. And Dante - ruthless, controlled, utterly terrifying Dante - is discovering that obsession has a way of quietly becoming something far more dangerous.
She has every reason not to trust him.
He has never wanted anything this much in his life.
And someone in the shadows has just made the catastrophic mistake of using her as leverage against him.
He took her bracelet.
She took his soul.
Neither of them knew how to give them back.
