Catching the Eye of the Moretti Heir

Sometimes, love comes knocking in a suit and scarred hands, and changes everything… Ayla Thorne, a twenty-two-year-old college graduate, is weighed down by debt and the constant worry of her father’s mounting medical bills. To keep her life afloat, she works part-time at a small coffee shop—and at the Morettis’, a family whose wealth and influence both fascinates and intimidates her. Everything changes the moment she meets Cassian Moretti, heir to the powerful Moretti dynasty. He’s back in town for one reason only: revenge. And in the blink of an eye, Ayla finds herself swept into a storm of emotions she never expected—love, heartbreak, loss, survival… and love again. As hidden truths come to light, Ayla uncovers the real story about her mother and a complicated connection to Lorenzo Vellani, a man whose presence shakes her heart and forces her to question everything she thought she knew about family, loyalty, and desire. When a quiet, dangerous obsession with a Mafia boss starts to feel like love, Ayla Thorne faces a question she never imagined she’d have to answer: does she run from it—or does she finally embrace the darkness pulling her in?
