Summary

Jennifer owns a small, exclusive gallery. For her, control is the only way to stay whole. Until a delivery goes wrong and four men show up at her door that night. Danger clings to Enzo like smoke, and he has no intention of leaving. His storm-gray eyes linger where they shouldn’t, unwavering, uninvited. And the more he tries to see beneath her masks, the more he climbs the walls she spent a lifetime building, the harder it becomes for her to stay in control. Enzo. A hitman. Raised to rule. Trained to endure. Control, to him, is protection. It means never failing the people who depend on him. Ten years ago, their paths crossed, and she vanished like a ghost. Now she appears out of nowhere… and doesn’t seem to remember him. She’s nothing like he expected. Reserved, but never cold. Green eyes that miss nothing. A body marked with ink and secrets, just like his. He shouldn’t drag her into his world. But this time, he won’t let her slip away. Not again.
