Scorned Obsession (Scorned Fate)

She spent years chasing him. Now she's the one being hunted.

Bianca De Lucci knows one truth better than any other: Sandro Rossi has always been her greatest weakness. From girlhood through womanhood, she has loved him with a ferocity that borders on obsession — and he has repaid that love by keeping her firmly at arm's length, treating her like a child who doesn't understand the brutal world he inhabits. But one catastrophic night changes everything. When Bianca's desperation pushes past a line she can't uncross, the fallout destroys something she can never get back. The adoration she carried for years curdles into something colder, sharper, and far more dangerous: hatred.

Sandro Rossi is a man who controls empires and breaks enemies without blinking. Yet somehow, somewhere along the way, he let the one thing that mattered most slip right through his fingers. The moment Bianca's warmth disappears from his world, he feels the absence like a wound that won't close. He dismissed her once. He won't make that mistake again.

In the shadows of the mafia underworld, obsession wears many faces — and the line between love and war has never been thinner. Bianca is done being the one who begs. Sandro is just beginning to understand what it means to need someone he can't have.

The question isn't whether he can win her back. It's whether she'll let him survive long enough to try.
