Dark Shadow, livre ebook

In the discreet opulence of a luxury hotel in the heart of the United States, Nahia Velasquez, a young woman without a past, virginal and desperate, agrees to replace her call-girl friend for just one night, but it’s a mistake, this night with a stranger. He does not say his name. He asks no questions. He takes her without gentleness, without promise. And marks her flesh with a desire she does not understand. She thought she would disappear by morning, forgetting this night stolen from her own life. But he demands her the next day. When she refuses, he understands. She is not a prostitute. She should never have been there. But Salvatore Caruso, the undisputed head of the Italian mafia, is not a man to be turned away. He is in New York on business. He will soon return to Rome, where an empire built on blood and fear awaits him. He has no time for games. So he makes her a cold offer: 5,000,000 dollars for her to be his for six months, body and soul. She signs a contract, but it is a gilded cage with the devil as her jailer. Nahia accepts because her mother is dying, and hospital bills are piling up. What she does not know is that she has just entered a world where love is a weakness, where desire can kill, and where one never truly escapes. For Salvatore knows neither tenderness nor pity. He takes, he keeps, he destroys. But Nahia is not just a toy. She might just ignite the spark that even a king of darkness cannot master. Or lose herself forever in his dark shadows.
