“I’m a monster, Eva. There’s no saving a monster. But I love that you want to try.”
Luca Minaldi is rich, powerful and mesmerizing. He’s also a reclusive enigma. He lives in Malta, a fairy-tale place filled with sunshine and sea, beauty and secrets. And Luca’s darkest of secrets is the best-kept of them all.
Eva Talbot moves to Malta to finish her doctoral dissertation in Psychiatry. When she meets Luca, there is a very real and instant attraction that she has never felt before. But even still, she senses the darkness that lives within him.
Eva is hired to care for Luca’s mother, a woman who suffers from dementia. It is Luca, however, that Eva will eventually risk everything to save… as the legacy that plagues him continues.
As the darkness swirls ever more tightly around her, Eva realizes that no matter how hard she tries, she might not be able to save Luca without losing herself.
Eva and Luca are thrust into a world where their love is tested and darkness reigns. Amid chaos and treachery, love and hate, Luca and Eva learn one important thing.
Love is dangerous.
But it also might be the one thing that can save them all.

Check out my review here.
With my grasp firm, I slide my hand up and down his shaft,
smiling a little as I feel the tremors in his abdomen. He likes
my touch and he leans into it as I move my hand. I decide to take it a
step further and with my eyes still joined with his, I lick a trail from his
abdomen to his nipple. When I arrive, I trace a little circle around it
with my tongue before I slip it into my mouth and suck.
He almost gasps as he grabs my shoulders and moves me away.
“If you don’t want me to come in your hand right now, you
need to stop,” he rasps.
I can’t help but smirk. He smiles at that, wolfish and
wicked, and I know that I am in trouble.
He bends in front of me yet again, rocking me backward until
I am once again lying in front of him. He hovers above me, his stare
still frozen to mine as he slides first one finger into me, then two. I
feel tremors rippling through my belly and I can’t breathe again. The friction
is exquisite and I never want it to stop.
And then he withdraws his fingers, and very, very
purposefully puts one in his mouth. Still staring me in the eye,
he slides his finger in and sucks the taste of me off.
Oh, holy hell. I’ve never seen anything sexier than
that.
Luca’s eyes are a stormy, stormy black as he looks into
mine. His gaze is on fire and it sets me ablaze as he bends until his
face is mere centimeters from mine.
“I want to be inside you, Eva.”
I look at him.
“You called me Eva,” I state simply.
He smiles against my lips.
“I think we’re friends now.”
