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

"So, you would hurt her if she had slapped me? But you do worse things to me." I narrowed my eyes, tilting my head as if trying to analyze him. "Sometimes I wonder how your mind works. Are you sure you didn’t fall too much as a baby?" 


Matteo let out a low chuckle, shaking his head as he stepped closer, invading my space like he always did. "Only I get to do what I want with you," he said, his voice dark and possessive. "No one else is allowed to touch what's mine." 


I scoffed, crossing my arms. "You're fucking delusional." 


His eyes darkened instantly, his body stiffening as he stared at me. "Careful, dolcezza." 


"Or what?" I challenged. "You’ll lock me in that goddamn cold room again? Strangle me? Maybe even kill me this time? Just admit it, Matteo—you don’t love me. You love the control." 


His jaw clenched, his fingers twitching at his sides as if he was restraining himself from grabbing me. "You don’t know what you’re talking about."
