About this ebook
Matteo kills for the mafia. Ruthless, calculated, and loyal to the powerful Mariano Family, he's the man who enforces their justice in blood. He doesn't do love. He doesn't do soft.
Until her.
Luiza is a brilliant doctor, born into high society and bound by reputation. After returning to Palermo, she never expected to fall for a mysterious stranger—let alone marry him. When she discovers she's pregnant, she has no idea who the father is… until Matteo walks into her hospital.
The man standing before her isn't just her former lover—he's dangerous, haunted, and hiding something. But he's also fiercely protective, unexpectedly tender, and willing to do anything for his younger brother's health.
She saves lives. He takes them.
As their worlds collide again, buried truths begin to surface—and passion ignites in ways neither of them can resist. But love comes at a price. And the deeper Luiza falls for Matteo, the closer she gets to uncovering the truth that could tear them apart forever.
What would you sacrifice for love?
