Lucien Veyne is a man feared by everyone and controlled by no one. At twenty-nine, he rules a criminal empire built on blood, loyalty, and secrets. Cold, calculating, and dangerously possessive, he has everything a man could ever wantβwealth, power, and four fiercely loyal friends who would burn the world beside him. Adrian, the charming second-in-command. Dante, the ruthless enforcer. Nikolai, the calculating strategist. Matteo, the unpredictable wildcard. Together, they are untouchable. Until you enter Lucienβs world. What begins as an unexpected encounter soon becomes something far more dangerous. Lucienβs attention turns into fixation, his protection into possession, and his carefully controlled world begins to crumble around the one person he cannot afford to want. His friends notice the change. Enemies see an opportunity. And secrets buried for years threaten to tear everything apart. In a world where love is a weakness and trust can get you killed, falling for Lucien Veyne might be the most dangerous decision youβll ever make. He doesnβt know how to love gently. He doesnβt know how to let go. And he has never been a man who accepts losing. Welcome to his world, darling. Try not to lose your heart. ~ ππΆπΉπΆπ π
