Synopsis


She loved him first. He’ll fall for her last – and hardest.

In the shadows of the city he rules, Dahlia Ferrara has spent years in love with one man: Mikail Morozov. Her brother’s best friend. The underworld’s coldest king. The forbidden obsession she was never meant to touch.

He rejected her once.
Now she’s done waiting.

Dahlia offers Mikail ten days – no strings, no future, no promises. On day eleven, she walks away to build a life far beyond the brutality of their world
and the secrets that have scarred them both.

But being this close to her, is a crack in his armor he can’t afford.
Forced proximity ignites jealousy, desire, and a control he’s been breaking for years.
Because Mikail has a secret of his own –
he’s been celibate because no one has ever been her.

She’s sunshine in a violent world.
He's a king built from regret.
And their connection is one line that was never meant to be crossed.

Loving her is betrayal.
Keeping her is war.
But letting her go would destroy him.



A dark, intoxicating forbidden-love mafia romance featuring a jealous, possessive hero, a tortured heroine, forced proximity, unrequited turned devastating love, emotional scars, a celibate anti-hero, and a secret relationship that could get them both killed.

A spicy, brother's best friend, forced proximity, forbidden love, dark romance standalone. Featuring grumpy/sunshine, touch her and die , she falls first/he falls harder vibes, a jealous/possessive, celibate hero, a tortured heroine in a secret relationship with emotional scars.
