My life was never meant to be a fairy tale. As a single mother, I'd come to terms with the fact that love would always be a distant dream. But destiny had other plans.

I knew he was dangerous, tied up in a world I wanted to stay away from. Yet, when those piercing eyes met mine, it was as if everything ignited between us, consuming every ounce of reason. The sexual tension was a force of nature that defied all logic.

Life has a way of testing love, and when my past reared its ugly head in the form of an ex who threatened to tear my daughter from my arms, it was Enzo who stepped into the role of protector. Strong, fierce, and with a heart that beat for me and my little girl, he became our shield against the storm.

I learned that sometimes, the most dangerous desires are the ones that can save us. I couldn't help but wonder if, against all odds, this perilous love story could end with a happily ever after.
