Synopsis

I made a mistake. At sixteen years old I fell for the wrong man. Callum Torrio. Ruthless billionaire. Dangerous villain. My best friend's father. At twenty one, I gave up hope that he would ever notice me. He’s twenty years older than me and an arms dealer for the mob. The smart choice would be to forget he ever existed. But that’s not possible. His icy blue gaze, sculpted physique, and huge rough hands play a vivid part in my dreams. Then one night everything changes. Every fantasy I ever had, he brings to life. Dominant and possessive, he praises and worships me. He makes me feel like a woman, when all my life I’ve felt sheltered and controlled. But Callum has dark secrets and a past that refuses to let go. I knew he was a bad man, but I never would have anticipated this… This dark romance is the first in a three-book series. It contains dark themes and things that may be triggering to some. Please avoid if you don't like possessive, controlling antiheroes.

Super Hot Age Gap 🔥 This series is going to be Epic. Any fans of the age gap trope this one is definitely for you and the spice level is set to filthy. Don’t let the cliffhanger put you off, this book is worth it.......more

Goodreads review by BL on April 11, 2023

Normally I’m a got to see a series all the way through kinda gal but I definitely won’t be going back to this. Callum is toxic as fuck in the worst kind of way. Immediately lost me at switching her birth control out with sugar pills and giving her fertility shots in her sleep. Killed the whole thing......more

Goodreads review by Kylie on April 16, 2023

Such a good mafia romance 4.5/5 ⭐️ 3/5 🌶️ OMG this had so many of my favorite tropes! The one that stands out the most is probably the “touch her and you 💀” trope. The next would be age gap and best friend’s dad. ;) This was so spicy and I enjoyed it so much. ALSO OMG THAT CLIFFHANGER!? I need book 2 ASAP......more
