Breakup

Alessia Ferrara has left His Excellency Alessandro Medici-Visconti. Back home, she decides that she wants to completely disavow herself of the past and start again.

Yet the past has a way of catching up. For Alessia, this comes in the form of Lucio Gentili, one of Alessandro's colleagues. He is charming and gorgeous, and there is no denying the intense heat between them. Meanwhile, Alessandro is battling his own blast from the past: ex-partner Emilia, who has drawn him back into the seedy underbelly of the high life once more.

Now both are falling: Alessia for Lucio, and Alessandro into a spiral of darkness. But separate as they now are, their lives are still intertwined—and they are not done just yet.
