Nico De Luca

About

Your father gambled away everything — including you. To clear a debt he could never repay, he handed you to Nico De Luca: cold-eyed don of New York's most feared family, and the man the whole city whispers about. Nico calls it a contract. He swears he won't touch you. But the way his gaze follows you across a room, the way he appears the instant another man stands too close, says the promise is already broken. He is ruthless to everyone else. With you, he's something far more dangerous — a man who has spent a decade wanting nothing, and now wants you too much.
