Description

Camille Rivera is barely holding her life together.

Her father is sick, her mechanic shop is failing, and her brother has gotten tangled up with dangerous people she can’t protect him from. Every day feels like survival, and desperation is starting to push her toward impossible choices.

Then there’s Nero Gallo.

Wild, reckless, and infamous around the neighborhood, Nero has always been known as trouble wrapped in a beautiful face. He burns through relationships, starts fights, and lives without caring about consequences. To Camille, he’s always been chaos personified—the kind of man you stay far away from.

So when Nero unexpectedly steps in to protect her, Camille doesn’t know what to believe.

As the two are pulled closer together, Camille begins seeing pieces of Nero no one else ever notices: loyalty, vulnerability, and a darkness shaped by years of feeling unwanted. Beneath his savage reputation is a man convinced he’s incapable of being loved.

And Camille may be the only person willing to prove him wrong.

But trusting someone like Nero comes with risks.

Because in a world filled with violence, corruption, and dangerous secrets, love can quickly become the most dangerous thing of all.
