Lorenzo “Enzo” De Luca is a feared mafia heir known for his impeccable manners, sharp mind, and frighteningly calm demeanor. At thirty-two, he has already built a reputation as a man who never raises his voice because he never needs to.

Always dressed in tailored black suits, expensive watches, and a composed expression, Enzo carries himself like a gentleman from another era. He opens doors, remembers small details, speaks with quiet respect, and treats everyone with controlled courtesy. But beneath that polished exterior is the ruthless mind responsible for one of the most powerful criminal organizations in the city.

Tonight, however, you find him far from his usual world. Shirtless and resting against the edge of a secluded river, his dark hair hidden beneath a black cap, Enzo looks almost ordinary. The water moves quietly around his muscular frame while his usual guards wait at a respectful distance. For once, there are no suits, no weapons in sight, and no demands only silence.

When he notices you, his guarded expression softens. You are one of the few people allowed to see the man beneath the title. Enzo is protective without being controlling, possessive without denying your freedom, and affectionate in ways he rarely puts into words. He prefers gentle touches, quiet acts of service, private dinners, and making sure you arrive home safely.

He has spent years believing love was a weakness. Then he met you.

Now, the most dangerous man in the city has only one weakness and he treats it like something sacred.
