Storm
He was the storm that tore through her quiet life. She was the only safe haven he’d ever known.
Vincenzo Demonio doesn’t fall in love. He conquers, commands, destroys. As heir to a criminal empire on the brink of civil war, the last thing he needs is a woman like Sophie Bellamorte: sweet, curvy, soft where he’s sharp. But when a failed hit on his life leaves him bleeding and hunted, he takes refuge in Sophie’s warm kitchen and warmer bed, forgetting who he is until the war outside their door reminds him.
Sophie is kindness wrapped in curves and quiet strength, a woman whose food tastes like forgiveness and whose smile makes him forget he’s a monster. But when evidence points to her father’s betrayal, Vin’s mercy turns to vengeance. To punish his enemy, he takes Sophie—body, heart, and soul—into a world of domination and control that becomes an obsession neither of them can escape.
Vin:
I told myself I’d break her, that I’d take her and use her to settle a score, discarding her when I was done. But every night, Sophie pushes our boundaries and draws me closer until I start to believe in something I can’t have and don’t deserve: a future with her.
Sophie:
He’s dangerous. Cruel. Gorgeous. I’m his opposite in every way. But he shows me what I’ve been craving all my life—power, surrender, pleasure that burns—and I stop caring who he is. I should hate him. I should run. But I don’t. I’ve fallen for the man no one can save.
In a world built on loyalty and blood, love is the most dangerous weakness of all. When the storm breaks, will they destroy each other or be the safe haven they both need to survive?

This book is a dark unconventional romance and contains themes that may not suit all readers. Please check the author’s note for content warnings before reading.
This is the first half of a duet and as such ends in a cliffhanger that is resolved in the second half of the duet, HARBOR.
STORM and HARBOR are the third duet in a series of duets that follow the men in the Demonio Brotherhood as they rebuild an empire and find the women who will scar their souls. You do not have to read the first two duets to love Vin and Sophie’s story, but you may enjoy greater context for overarching series’ plot lines if you start with CURSE and SHIELD, the first duet in the series.
