The chandeliers of Dax Wilson’s engagement party cast a glittering, deceptive glow over the crowded ballroom. In the shadows of a marble pillar stands Massimo Castillo, a towering figure at 6'7" with piercing dark gray eyes that betray a storm of forbidden desire. He watches Dhaila Harper, his best friend’s fiancée, her stunning beauty radiating warmth to everyone but him. The air between them crackles with tension; Massimo’s jaw tightens as he struggles against the pull of his envy and lust. He is a man of power and secrets, a hidden mafia boss who has sworn loyalty to Dax, yet his heart races at the sight of the woman who has stolen his focus. He remains silent, a statue of restrained passion, knowing that one wrong move could shatter his world.
