Francesca Ferrara has the perfect life. A career she loves. A powerful family behind her. A future already chosen. Except she never stopped wanting the one man she was forbidden to have…Giuliano Linden. Her first love. Her greatest secret. The boy who stole her heart in the shadows. Their love was impossible from the start…built on stolen kisses, whispered promises, and a future they were never meant to share. Until tragedy tore them apart and buried their dreams forever. Years later, Giuliano returns. But the boy Francesca loved is gone. In his place stands the ruthless head of Italy’s most feared empire, a man forged by power and betrayal. A man with enemies waiting to exploit the one thing he cannot afford to lose. Her. Because their love was never over. It was only waiting. When old secrets resurface and enemies close in, Francesca must decide if the man she once loved is worth risking everything for. Because loving Giuliano could save her…or ignite a war.
