Description

I stole a dangerous man’s car. He decided to keep me.

I’m a widow with a four-year-old, forty-one dollars, and nowhere left to run.
My husband is dead. The debts he hid from me are not.
The men who want their money found my work. My home. My face.
My daughter is next.
So I did the only thing left — I took the first unlocked car in the lot, and I drove.
It belonged to Luca.
A Sartori man. Cold. Quiet. The kind of man I’ve spent my whole life crossing the street to avoid.
He should have taken his keys and let me disappear.
Instead, he took us home.
Now I’m hidden inside a killer’s world, with a new name and a man who watches me like I’m the first thing he’s wanted in years.
He doesn’t make promises.
He makes breakfast. He buys my daughter a bear. He tells me the truth when no one else will.
And every day under his protection, the safest place in my world becomes the most dangerous thing for my heart.
He swears he’s been dead inside for six years.
I’m not supposed to be the one who brings him back.
‘If you try to leave, I’ll chase you. I’ll bring you back.’
