Before Athena Robertson, Vincenzo had everything—wealth, power, a reputation built on danger and desire. Everyone wanted a piece of him, and he liked it that way. Life was simple. Controlled. Predictable. Until she walked in. One look at Athena—her innocence wrapped in a black dress, her shy green eyes meeting his—and something inside him snapped. Or awakened. Suddenly, the man who had never needed anything found himself craving someone with a hunger that bordered on ruin. She became his obsession. His addiction. The one thing he couldn’t buy, control, or resist. Athena has no idea what she’s done to him. Vincenzo knows exactly what he’ll do for her. He’ll claim her. Protect her. And burn the world to ashes if anyone dares touch what’s his. A dark, intoxicating romance about possession, obsession, and the line between love and madness—where one man refuses to let go of the woman who became his only weakness.
