Sophia thought she had escaped her reckless past. Leaving behind wild nights and meaningless hookups, she was finally focused on her studies, determined to build a future for herself. But no matter how much she tried to move forward, she couldn’t shake the unsettling feeling that someone was always watching.

Matteo had been watching Sophia for months. The heir to a powerful mafia empire, he was used to taking what he wanted, and what he wanted was her. She had been a fleeting temptation, a girl who once lived freely, but she had no idea that her past had tied her to him in ways she couldn’t even begin to understand.

When strange things start happening—her door left unlocked, gifts in her room that were never there, shadows lurking where there shouldn’t be—Sophia’s fear grows. But when Matteo finally steps out of the shadows and into her life, the fear turns into something far more dangerous: fascination.

He’s dark, possessive, and utterly obsessed. He claims she belongs to him. And worst of all? A part of her doesn’t want to run.

As Sophia fights the undeniable pull between them, secrets begin to unravel. The more she learns about Matteo’s world, the more she realizes she might not be as innocent as she thought. And when the line between love and obsession blurs, she’s faced with a terrifying question—has she fallen for the monster in the dark, or was she always meant to be his?

In a world of crime, power, and dangerous devotion, can love truly conquer all? Or will Sophia lose herself to the man who has been watching her from the very beginning?

HUNTED BY DESIRE

I let out a satisfied sigh, a smirk tugging at my lips. Did I scare her too much? Maybe. But I didn’t think so. I just wanted to remind her that I was watching—always watching. It was almost too easy to send her spiraling into fear. 


At first, I had considered calling her from my real number. The idea of her seeing my name pop up on her screen, knowing exactly who was taunting her, had been tempting. But that was reckless. Too risky. If they tried to trace me, it could be a problem. 


I glanced down at my cock and the mess I had made. “Jeez, Matteo,” I muttered, shaking my head. Maybe I had gone a little overboard this time. Where was the fun in only letting her hear what I was doing, when I could make her see it? 


That thought sent a dark thrill through me. Next time, I’d take it even further.
