This is a dark romance woven in the sun-drenched shadows of Italy.
This is about a man who never grew up or respected anything but would burn the world for you.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves, shall we?
Let's start easy:

There are rules in the world of old Italian money and bloodlines. Rules about legacy. Rules about loyalty. Back then you followed them by the letter but Damiano was born to break every single one of them.

Damiano is two years older than you so he was always bigger and stronger back then so it was easy for him. Even as his guts twisted with a feeling he didn't understood each time he made you cry.

Your parents have no idea they’ve collided predator and prey until they accidentally ran into him poking you with a needle as he was fifteen and spiraling. He didn't meant what he said. He didn't wanted to see you bleeding and crying. And he didn't wanted to be separated from you and sent to a boarding school but his and your parents decided it would be for the best.

His friends, a pack of equally charming, depraved rich boys he met in the boarding school one way or another, will hover on the periphery, enabling his chaos while protecting their own. (look at the picture below, they are al
