She went to Italy looking for a life of her own. Instead, she disappeared. At twenty years old, Y/N was an orphan with nothing tying her to anyone. No family. No powerful connections. No one important enough to make the world stop when she vanished. For three years, she was kept hidden, forgotten, and left to survive the unthinkable. Until Matteo Moretti found her. At twenty-eight, Matteo is the ruthless heir to one of Italy’s most feared mafia families. He doesn’t rescue people. He doesn’t get emotionally involved. And he certainly doesn’t bring strangers into his world. But when he opens a locked basement during a raid and finds Y/N barely conscious, bound, bruised, and covered in blood, something inside him changes. He doesn’t know her. She doesn’t know him. She fears him. And yet, Matteo makes her one promise: “No one is ever going to hurt you again.” What begins as a rescue slowly becomes something neither of them expected. For Y/N, Matteo becomes the first person who makes her feel safe. For Matteo, the woman who was supposed to be a stranger becomes the one person he can’t afford to lose. But her kidnapping wasn’t random. And the people who took her aren’t finished. He found her by accident. He protected her by choice. And now he’ll destroy anyone who tries to take her away.
