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

"Fuck, this is fucked up," Matteo muttered under his breath. His hands were clenched into fists, his entire body radiating unrestrained fury. 


The doctor, who had just finished stitching my wound, was now tending to Marcello, who looked pale as hell. His bandages were soaked in red, a clear sign that his bullet wound had reopened during the fight. 


I could see the veins in Matteo’s arms, the way his muscles tensed like he was ready to snap someone’s neck. 


"So… since Marcello’s wound reopened, does that mean they’ll stay longer?" I asked, glancing at Matteo. 


He rolled his eyes. "Well, I guess. They’ll leave as soon as the culprits are dealt with. If I find the bastard who sold us out, I’ll fucking enjoy torturing them." 


I smirked. "Yes!" I pumped my fist in the air, only to instantly regret it as pain shot through my injured arm. "Fuck, that hurts," I hissed. 


Leon chuckled. "Jeez, you love us here, huh?"
