Lucio

One woman. Five obsessions. No mercy.

She wasn't the woman he sent for. But he'll claim her anyway.

Lucio Dante built his empire on power, precision, and an endless parade of willing women. Nothing touches him. Nothing surprises him. Nothing gets under his skin.

Until her.

She arrives at his door by mistake — soft-voiced, wide-eyed, and absolutely not the woman he ordered. One look shatters eighteen years of careful control. One night breaks every rule he lives by.

Then he finds a photograph hidden in her bag. A photograph of him — taken long before they ever met.

She isn't innocent. She didn't find him by accident. And whatever she's hiding, he'll have it out of her — one way or another.

He lost everything once, in a single night he's spent eighteen years trying to bury. Now the past has walked through his door wearing a stranger's face — and he wants the truth almost as badly as he wants her.

Claimed & Corrupted is a dark, obsession-fuelled romantic-suspense saga — five dangerous men, one woman they couldn't let go of, and a buried secret sharp enough to destroy them all. Begin with Lucio.
