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

His fingers trailed up and down my thigh, slow and deliberate, like he had all the time in the world. My entire body tensed, my skin crawling under his touch. 


Matteo chuckled, amused by my reaction. 


“Relax,” he whispered, his lips grazing the shell of my ear. “Don’t worry, I won’t fuck you. Not today. I’m in a good mood.” 


As if I should be thankful for his restraint. 


His touch lingered for a second longer before he pulled away slightly, just as the sharp sound of a ringing phone filled the room. 


Matteo smirked, holding up the device, his silver eyes gleaming with satisfaction. 


“Oh, look at that. It’s good old Garry.” He tapped the screen lightly with his finger. “Let’s see what he has to say.” He turned to me, his smirk widening. “Just don’t snitch on me unless you want him dead.” 


I swallowed hard, trying to steady my breathing. I knew he wasn’t bluffing. Matteo never bluffed.
