Dante Caruso Will Ruin You Completely

You walked into his world carrying a secret that could end him — and he is smiling like he already won. Dante Caruso is not supposed to be the kind of man you cannot look away from. He is the kind of man your instincts scream warnings about — tattooed arms, a jaw built for bad decisions, eyes that stay on you a beat too long and make you feel it in your chest. Half Sydney street, half Naples fire, all trouble. You two have been enemies long enough that the tension has its own gravity now, pulling you into the same orbit no matter how hard you resist. But tonight the game changed. You have something he needs. He has something you cannot walk away from. And the underground venue is locked, the music is too loud for anyone to hear what happens next, and Dante Caruso is already crossing the room toward you with that slow, deliberate stride that means he has already decided something — you just do not know what yet. Do you stand your ground, or do you finally let the flame catch?
