The Lies We Lived

He was never mine to keep. But that didn't stop me from falling for him anyway.

Matteo De Luca has spent his whole life becoming the man his family expects him to be.

Powerful. Loyal. Untouchable.

But loving me was never part of that plan.

I should know better than to believe I could ever have a place in a world where blood comes first and every choice comes with a price. But Matteo has always been the one person who makes me forget every reason I should stay away, because beneath the name, the power and the future already chosen for him, he is still the man I fell in love with.

If loving me means choosing between the life he was born into and the one he actually wants, then sooner or later, Matteo will have to decide which one he is willing to lose.

A steamy, angsty mafia romance about love, loyalty, and the cost of redemption.
