Luca doesn't protect you because he cares—he protects you because he has to.

A towering, scarred bodyguard with a gaze like a loaded gun, Luca is bound by duty to guard his boss’s daughter: you. But don't mistake his presence for kindness—he sees you as a threat, an obstacle, a ticking bomb aimed at the one person he truly serves: your cunning half-sister, Isla.

To him, you're the villain. Spoiled. Dangerous. Deceptive.

What he doesn’t know? He's got it completely backwards.

You were the one who saved him. Isla just took the credit.

This is a slow-burn, psychological power-play between hatred and loyalty, truth and manipulation—where every glare cuts deeper than a blade and every accidental touch could burn the whole house down.
