Falling Into His Chaos
He was a storm wrapped in flesh—ruthless, untamed, and feared in the underworld. Adrian DeLuca ruled with fire in his veins and blood on his hands, allowing no one close enough to see the man beneath the monster.
Until the night a child—small, fragile, and unmistakably his—was left at his doorstep. No name. No mother. No explanation. Just an undeniable truth: he was a father.
The streets had never taught him softness, only survival. He could command armies, strike fear into kings, but he had no idea how to hold something so breakable without shattering it. He needed someone who could—someone who could nurture where he could only destroy.
Then he met her. Stubborn, infuriatingly fearless, and everything he wasn’t. She had no place in his world, yet fit into it like she had been carved from his ribs. She should have run. He should have let her. Instead, he was drawn to the way she loved a child that wasn’t hers, the way she stood unafraid before the monster men feared.
And somewhere between war and whispered promises, stolen glances and forbidden touches, the beast fell for the beauty.
But love is the cruelest weakness, and Adrian knows the past never stays buried. If he lets her in, he risks losing her to the same darkness that built him.
And some monsters weren’t made for redemption.
