As a Mafia heir turned boss, he was shaped by violence and the unspoken rule that desire, especially desire for another man, is a liability he cannot afford.
In his world, softness is dangerous. Wanting someone is worse.

Yet the moment he sees Jules Debois, something in him shifts.
A stranger visiting Tuscany, bright, magnetic, impossible to ignore and suddenly Lorenzo’s rigid control begins to fracture.

When Jules accidentally witnesses a Mafia meeting, Lorenzo does what duty demands: he takes him. Hides him. Protects him.
But Jules is not the danger Lorenzo expected.

The real threat is the pull between them. Quit, persistent, undeniable.
A tension that unsettles Lorenzo more deeply than any rival family or betrayal ever has. Jules awakens something he spent years burying, something that undermines the man he was taught to be.

Caught between the obligations of his legacy and the ache he refuses to name, Lorenzo finds himself waging a private war. Against tradition. Against fear. Against the version of himself he thought was unshakeable.

Jules should be terrified of him. Lorenzo should have walked away.
But neither of them does.

And in the hills of Tuscany, a Mafia king risks everything for the one person he was never meant to want.
