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

If there was one thing that annoyed me more than anything, it was being disturbed. I was sleeping peacefully in my Sophia’s bed when that dickhead uncle of mine, Damiano, called, telling me that Maximilliano’s son, Lorenzo, had been caught. 


We had planned on capturing him for a while, intending to use him as a warning to his father, but the timing fucking sucked. 


I muttered curses under my breath as I shut the door to Sophia’s bedroom. When I told her I had to leave, she hadn’t even tried to hide how eager she was to kick me out. 


Well, too bad, sweetheart. I’ll be hanging around more these days. 


I got in my car, my mood already sour. Now, I needed to let out my frustration. And Lorenzo Suarez was the perfect target. 


Lorenzo had been a thorn in my side for far too long, just like his father. I planned on teaching him a lesson tonight—one his old man wouldn’t forget either.
