Luca's sister is getting married. The music is playing. The champagne is flowing. Everything is perfect—until Luca spots him across the ballroom. The man who stole his youth. The man who broke him and threw him away. Now Marco is back, playing the charming family friend, his dark eyes promising destruction. Luca can't leave. He can't tell anyone. And Marco knows it. Trapped in a nightmare of silk and flowers, Luca must survive the night without shattering—or destroying his sister's perfect day. But some predators don't know when to leave.

This is a very hard read for anyone who has been subjected to any form of abuse, however, it has a very powerful message that should be experienced! I highly recommend this very powerful story! You will be surprised by the depth of support that is brought forward. I will not give anything away about this story other than you will be crying and cheering at the end! I cannot say enough about the master artist who creates these unbelievable stories! 👏❤️😃
