THREADS OF TEMPTATION
DEDICATION
"To the bookgirlies who'd kneel for a man like Damien-gun in one hand, throat in the other.Who aches to be dragged, devoured, and told "you're mine now, forever." Who crave bruises as promises and blood as foreplay.This one's for you-damned, drenched, and proudly destroyed."
CHARACTERS INTRODUCTION
VIOLET DIVIT
She rules the fashion world at the age of 24, spent the last four years surviving in the shadow of loss. The night her parents died, her world shattered into silence-no closure, no justice, just an ache that clawed at her soul. Since then, she built walls made of steel and wore her grief like armor. Trust was a luxury she couldn't afford. Love? A fantasy that died the night her past did.
But fate has a twisted sense of humor.
Because when her eyes met his-the ruthless Mafia king with a gaze cold enough to kill and a touch hot enough to burn her carefully rebuilt world began to collapse. He was everything she feared, everything she hated... and everything she couldn't resist.
Now she's trapped in a deadly game where obsession feels like love, and freedom comes at a price soaked in blood.
Will Violet escape his grip, or will she lose herself in the fire of a man who was never meant to love... only to own?
DAMIEN ANDRES LORENZO
To the world, he was a monster in a tailored suit - cold, calculating, untouchable.
At just 29, he didn't inherit the underworld. He conquered it. Every deal sealed in blood, every betrayal paid for in bullets. He ruled with a quiet rage, the kind that didn't shout - it executed. Enemies feared him. Allies obeyed him. Women worshipped him. And yet, none lasted past the second night because he didn't f*ck the same woman more than twice.
Emotions? A weakness.
Love? A liability.
Loyalty? Reserved only for one thing his family, the only piece of his soul not buried under the weight of his empire.
But everything shifted the moment he saw her - Violet.
She wasn't begging for his attention. She wasn't trembling at his name.She was broken in a way that called to the darkness in him. Obsession crept in quietly, but it hit him like war.Now, the man who trusted no one... watches her like a shadow.
The king who felt nothing... burns at the thought of her.The devil who vowed never to fall... is already on his knees.
And in his world, once he wants something - there's no escape.
Not even for her.
MARIA CLAIRE
She was never meant to be part of the Mafia world-until fate and friendship dragged her straight into the fire.
A fiercely talented interior designer with an eye for luxury and a mouth that didn't know how to back down, Maria lived life on her own terms.Her best friend Violet was her anchor, her chosen family-the one person she'd fight heaven and hell for.
Now, she's caught in a world of secrets, power, and men who make murder look effortless. The lines between loyalty and danger blur fast when you're standing next to someone the devil himself is obsessed with.
Maria might not carry a gun, but she's got a spine of steel, a mind that doesn't quit-and she's about to find out that in this world, loving someone is the fastest way to get yourself burned.
Nick Taylor
He's a guy with fast fingers and a faster mind-until his code cracked open the gates to hell.
Brilliant, sarcastic, and borderline addicted to energy drinks, Nick made a name for himself in the underground tech scene. Firewalls bowed to him, secrets were his playground, and anonymity was his shield. Loyal to a fault, his closest ties were to Violet and Maria-the two women who knew every glitch in his system and still stuck around.
So when a high-paying client offered him an exclusive hacking contract, Nick took it. Clean job. Big money. No questions asked.
He should've asked.
Because the man behind the offer?
The ruthless Mafia king who now has Violet under his control.
Now, unknowingly entangled in a web of power, blood, and obsession, Nick finds himself playing both sides of a game he doesn't even know he's in.
MARKIAN ALEX WILSON
He's the blade in Damien's shadow-sharp, silent, and deadly loyal.Raised in violence, molded by the streets, and baptized by blood, Markian didn't just serve Damien-he lived for him. The Mafia world was brutal, but Damien and his siblings were the only family he ever had. And Markian would burn the world to protect them.
He was Damien's right hand, the man who pulled the trigger before the enemy could breathe. Unshakable. Unquestionable. Until her.
Damien's sister-off-limits, untouchable, and the only person who ever saw through the mask he wore. His feelings for her were a secret buried deep, locked behind loyalty that ran thicker than blood. He watched her from the shadows, always close... but never close enough.
Because in this world, love is a weakness. And for Markian, protecting Damien means sacrificing the only thing he's ever wanted-even if it kills him inside.
DANIEL ASHER LORENZO
He's the wildfire of the Lorenzo family-reckless, magnetic, and impossible to control.The younger brother of Mafia king Damien, Daniel wore his charm like armor and his smile like sin. Third in command beneath Damien and Markian, he played the game with swagger-fast cars, faster women, and no promises.
Loyalty to his family? Unquestionable.
Commitment? Absolutely not.
He loved his younger siblings fiercely, but love in a romantic sense? That was a trap he'd mastered avoiding.
Until her.
One chance conversation with a stranger on a smoky, pulsing night flipped something in him-something raw, unexpected, and dangerously addictive. He never got her name. Never thought he'd see her again until she walked into his world.
And now, she's everywhere. Unreachable. Off-limits. And completely unaware she's the one woman Daniel can't charm, shake or stop thinking unaware she's the one woman Daniel can't charm, shake, or stop thinking about.
Because for the first time in his life... Daniel Asher Lorenzo is spiraling-and it all started with her.
REX ATTICUS LORENZO
He's the gunpowder in the Lorenzo family-loud, lethal, and impossible not to love.
The youngest brother of Damien and Daniel, Rex carved his path in the underworld with precision and pride as the Mafia's top-tier arms specialist. He could dismantle a weapon in seconds and light up a room with the same ease. Explosive by skill, radiant by nature-Rex was chaos in designer boots.
He's the teasing little brother Daniel never asked for, the soft spot Damien never admitted to having, and the protector of their youngest sister, whom he adored fiercely.
Open, fearless, and unapologetically unique, he never cared what the world thought. He wore his truth with pride, his heart on his sleeve, and humor on his tongue. But make no mistake-behind the playful smirk was a man who didn't miss a shot, didn't forget a betrayal, and would burn kingdoms to protect his family.
In a world of shadows, Rex was the spark that kept the fire alive.
ELLEANOR LORENZO
She's the light in a family built from shadows-soft-hearted, sharp-witted, the only sister of the infamous Lorenzo brothers-Damien, Daniel, and Rex-Ellie was the heart they fiercely protected and the innocence they preserved in a world dripping with blood and betrayal.
Raised inside the walls of the Mafia but untouched by its cruelty, Ellie grew up knowing exactly what her family did and chose compassion anyway.
An animal lover with a soul for healing, she poured her heart into NGO work, helping those the world forgot.Fun-loving, bold, and unapologetically herself, Ellie wasn't fragile just uninterested in playing a part in the darkness her brothers ruled.
But beneath her laughter lies a secret she guards closely. She hides it well...
Because in a world like theirs, her secret could tear apart everything.
