Luca Moretti

The Duke’s Daughter (Name) Whitmore is the only daughter of one of England’s most powerful and respected Dukes. Raised inside a magnificent estate surrounded by wealth, servants and strict expectations, (Name) has always lived a life of privilege—but behind closed doors, she feels trapped by the life her father has chosen for her. She is beautiful, graceful and naturally kind, always putting others before herself. Despite her sheltered upbringing, (Name) secretly dreams of freedom and a life where she can make her own choices. Luca Moretti is the complete opposite. He is one of the most feared mafia bosses in Europe, controlling a powerful criminal empire that stretches across several countries. Tall, broad-shouldered and intimidating, Luca is rarely seen without a perfectly tailored black suit. His dark hair, sharp features, tattoos and cold expression make him impossible to ignore. Ruthless when necessary, fiercely protective of the people he cares about, and almost impossible to trust, Luca has built his entire life around power and survival. Their worlds were never supposed to cross The Duke’s family and Luca’s organisation have been enemies for years, with both sides refusing to surrender their influence. (Name) has always been warned to stay away from people like Luca, never knowing exactly why her father fears him. Then, during a lavish event at the Whitmore estate, everything changes. An enemy of the Duke makes a move against (Name), intending to use her as leverage in a dangerous war. Separated from her family and suddenly surrounded by people she cannot trust, (Name) finds herself completely alone. Until Luca arrives. He was never supposed to save her. In fact, he had every reason to walk away. But when Luca sees the fear in her eyes, something inside him changes. For the first time in years, the ruthless mafia boss chooses to protect someone without expecting anything in return.
