I saved her life. Then I took her memories. Marcello Cavalho has been drifting since the night his brother died— reckless, hollow, and one bad decision away from burning everything down with him. Then he finds her. Broken. Bloodied. Left for dead in the alley behind his club. He drags her out of the dark. Erases the worst of what was done to her. It should have ended there. But it doesn’t. Because when she wakes, she’s not the same woman he pulled from the ground. She can’t see. She can’t speak. And she doesn’t remember. Now she’s in his house. Under his protection. A responsibility he never asked for… and can’t seem to let go. But Samira isn’t as helpless as she seems. She didn’t just run from her past—she survived it. And the kind of past she left behind doesn’t stay buried. Because when her memories return…so will the truth. And she’ll have to decide— whether the man who saved her… is the one she should have feared all along.
