Shadows of Desire

Violet Hart was the one woman I could never touch. Her father warned me. Her brothers made sure I knew my place. She was untouchable-perfect, pure, and destined for someone better. But we shared a single stolen night, and I've never forgotten it. Fourteen years later, fate has brought her back. Only now, the girl I once craved has secrets she never asked for, scars she never deserved, and a truth that shatters everything she believed.
As for me? My life is nothing like the boy she once knew. I've built a career in the shadows, tied to powerful men whose names never belong on paper. Being a lawyer for a mafia don has filled my pockets but emptied my soul. Every deal I make paints a target on my back, but I don't care-not when she's here. Because my heart only beats for her. Always has. Always will. But loving Violet again might cost me everything.
And this time, I might not survive walking away.
