Rosa knows exactly who her father is and what he does for a living on account of the fact that she was kidnapped a couple of years ago as an attempt to get at her father. She still has nightmares about what happened to her and is still attempting to piece herself back together, though she puts on a facade to make people believe that she's completely fine. Ever since, her father has assigned his most trusted man, Loren, to keep an eye on Rosa and protect her, which he does without question. Rosa has always been drawn to Loren, captivated by him despite the fact that she knows that he's got his fair share of demons. With every moment they spend together, she finds her captivation with him growing stronger, becoming harder to control and even harder to hide, though she knows that if she doesn't keep it hidden, it will ruin everything. ~ Loren has always had one rule: Keep his distance from Rosalia Moretti. She's the only girl that's completely off limits to him. For the past two years, he's found himself looking at her differently. He's found himself unable to get her out of his head, while he also finds himself wanting her with an intensity that shakes him to his core, but he made a promise to himself that he wouldn't get involved with her because she deserves better than a damaged person like him. It's been getting harder to keep his distance, and having to protect her all the time is only making it harder. He knows that he can never give in to this attraction he feels towards her because it would destroy everything, but despite his determination to not get too close to her, he finds himself getting closer and before he knows it, he's in too deep with no way out. As she chips away at his walls, digging her way under his skin and into his heart, he knows that all hell will break loose when her father finds out about them.
