Matteo DeLuca
He believed the lie. She paid the price. Now he'll burn his empire to earn her back. Matteo DeLuca doesn't make mistakes. As the cold, calculating heir to a powerful mafia empire, his world runs on loyalty, control, and consequences. Emotions are weaknesses. Trust is earned in blood. Then she walked into his life — a woman who survived a toxic family that tried to ruin her future, who cut contact and rebuilt herself from nothing. She turned her pain into success, opening a thriving dark romance bookstore that proved she never needed saving. She never wanted his money. Never feared his power. Only wanted him. And he let her go. Manipulated by his own family’s lies, Matteo pushed away the only person who ever saw the man beneath the monster. By the time he learns the truth, she's gone… rebuilding her life without him, carrying consequences of a love he thought he lost. Now he must prove he's worthy of her again.
