Overview
Ten years ago, Damiano De Luca shattered my heart, leaving me with nothing but broken promises. But revenge wasn’t in my vocabulary, and destruction was never an option.
I left him at 18, taking my secrets with me. Now, at 28, I’m back in his world, and he’s not the same man I left behind.
He’s colder, crueler, and more dangerous than ever before. And he’s glaring at me like he wants me dead.
But I’m not that naive girl anymore. This time, I won’t be the one on the losing side.
The war is back on, and blood will be spilled. But this time, I’m the one with the upper hand.
