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 placed the glass on the counter and went back to the living room, trying not to groan at the familiar ache that lingered in my arm. The stitches pulled a little whenever I moved too quickly, but I’d grown used to it. I sank into the couch, letting out a quiet sigh as I tucked my legs underneath me and reached for the throw blanket. 


Marcello was sitting in the armchair opposite me, casually scrolling through something on his phone. Leon was lounging on the other end of the couch, flipping through channels on the TV with a lazy smirk stretched across his face. 


"Where is Matteo?" I asked, half out of boredom, half out of... something else I didn’t want to name. 


Marcello looked up from his phone, an unreadable expression crossing his face. Leon’s smirk widened immediately, sensing an opportunity. 


"Oww, miss him?" he asked teasingly, glancing at me sideways with a glint of mischief in his eyes. 


I rolled my eyes. "That’s like asking me if I miss toture."
