Secret Confession
He was never meant to touch her. Now he’ll never let her go.
When Courtney receives a terrifying threat, her brother insists she hide in the one place no one would dare come near—Morelli Mansion. She never expects to be under the watchful eye of Maximus Morelli.
Feared. Revered. Untouchable.
He’s her brother’s boss. Thirty-two years older, and carved from danger itself.
He’s also the only man who’s ever made her truly feel.
Maximus knows he should keep his distance. She’s too innocent. Too off-limits.
But when she breaks his rules and steps into his world, he doesn’t just want her—he needs her.
What begins as protection quickly spirals into something far more dangerous—something raw and consuming.
She offers him her trust, her body, her firsts.
He offers her a single, brutal truth: If she stays, she’s his.
Because Maximus doesn’t love like a gentleman. He claims. He owns.
And once he decides she’s his, nothing will stop him from keeping her.
He’ll make her feel safe. Then he’ll make her his—no matter what it costs.
