About this audiobook
BELLA
Freedom was supposed to taste sweet.
Instead, it tastes like iron bars and my father’s paranoia wearing a suit.
He sends Ace Morelli to guard me at University—my own personal shadow, carved from violence and silence, watching me like I’m a problem he has to dismantle or a sin he wants to commit.
And then the notes start.
Blood-red ink. Threats that crawl across my skin.
Someone is following me. Someone who shouldn’t know my name… but does.
Ace tells me to behave.
I tell him to choke on his rules.
But when danger breathes down my neck, his darkness is the only thing I reach for.
He’s not safe.
He’s not good.
He’s not allowed.
But God help me… he’s the only man I want touching me in the dark.
ACE
I’ve protected criminals, kings, and men who built empires out of blood.
None of them were as dangerous as Bella Silvestri.
She’s supposed to be my job.
My responsibility.
The daughter of the man I owe everything to.
Instead, she’s a wildfire—reckless, bratty, and too damn tempting.
I told myself I wouldn’t touch her.
Then the threats came.
Real. Personal.
And suddenly keeping her safe isn’t enough—
I want her close, mine.
If anyone thinks they can lay a hand on her, I’ll break every bone they own.
If she thinks I’ll let her run from me, she’s out of her mind.
Protecting her was the deal.
But claiming her?
That’s inevitable.
