Angelo Romano was a man forged in blood and betrayal. As the ruthless heir to the Romano Mafia empire, his name was synonymous with fear. But three months ago, he committed the ultimate act of vengeance—he killed his wife, Evelyn Romano, the woman who was his everything. Evelyn's betrayal had shattered him, and in a fit of uncontrollable rage, he burned her alive, vowing never to let his heart be a weakness again.

Enter Isla Monroe, a 20-year-old orphan struggling to survive. Homeless and desperate after being thrown out by her landlord, Isla wandered the rain-soaked streets until a speeding car struck her. When she woke, she found herself in the Romano mansion, where she was offered refuge by Angelo’s father, Vittorio, in exchange for caring for Angelo’s young son, Luca.

Angelo was livid at Isla’s presence. He trusted no one, especially not a stranger in his home. Isla, terrified of the cold, merciless man, only wanted to protect Luca, the one light in her otherwise dark life. But Angelo’s world was dangerous, and Isla quickly became ensnared in its web of secrets.

As Isla uncovered the truth about Evelyn’s death, Angelo found himself inexplicably drawn to her. Her warmth began to chip away at the walls he had built around his heart. But just as Angelo started to trust her, his enemies used Isla as leverage, forcing him to confront the demons of his past.

When Isla is kidnapped, Angelo’s carefully constructed world begins to unravel. As danger closes in, he must make a choice—risk everything to save the woman who has reignited his humanity or lose himself completely to the darkness.

In a world built on betrayal, can love truly survive, or will it burn just like Evelyn?

Isla’s POV
The soft click of the bedroom door closing echoed in the vast, suffocating silence. I leaned against it, the cool wood a temporary anchor in a world that had just been turned upside down. My eyes fluttered shut, a deep, bone-weary exhaustion settling over me. The air of this room—the sam...

Lost and Alone!

The Stranger's Shelter!

First encounter with devil!

Why is she here?

 You’re not in a position to argue!

  What… what's happening?

Don’t you dare tell me what my son needs!

A Heartbreaking Farewell!

She fucking left.

  She made the beast fall in love.

I just need a job. Please!

  "You. With the red mask."

"You sound like her. But she had a different walk. More… delicate."

Angelo Romano just saved me.

"Come back to the mansion.”

You don’t have to speak to me again. But Luca needs you.

“You don’t have to be scared, Isla. Not here. Not anymore.”

"I was just too much of a coward to admit it.”

I'm truly sorry!

Shower!

But I’d protect her now.

"You're going to tell her the truth?"

“Afraid I’m making you uncomfortable?”

"Breakfast is waiting. Angelo, walk her to the dining room."
