HE WASN’T SUPPOSED TO NOTICE HER.
BUT THE MOMENT HE DID—
SHE BECAME HIS FIX.
Kiana walked away from the kind of love that teaches you how to survive—but never how to feel safe.
She wasn’t looking for anything dangerous.
She definitely wasn’t looking for him.
But one night drags her into something she can’t walk away from.
Dimitri Morelli doesn’t believe in coincidences.
He believes in control. Power. Precision.
And yet—
The moment he lays eyes on her, something shifts.
Not desire. Not curiosity.
Something far more dangerous.
Because Kiana is the one thing he cannot control—
and control is the only thing he’s ever trusted.
A world built on power, loyalty, and quiet violence begins to close around her—
where every move is watched, every choice has consequences,
and walking away isn’t as simple as it once was.
And when the past threatens to come between them,
Dimitri doesn’t chase.
He doesn’t beg.
And he definitely doesn’t fall.
He takes.
He protects.
He ruins.
Especially the ones who don’t know their place.
—
For readers who crave power, tension, and devotion that borders on dangerous—
where strong women rise, and the men who love them burn the world to keep them—
Welcome to the Morelli Empire.
