She didn't know him. Had never seen him before. And yet... somehow, she had already caught his attention. Tulia moves through life on her own terms-quietly strong, observant, and entirely unaware of the world watching her. Unaware of him. Lucius is not a man ruled by impulse. He is calculated. Controlled. Untouchable. Until the moment she crosses his path. What begins as a passing curiosity quickly becomes something far more dangerous-an obsession he has no intention of resisting. Because Lucius doesn't chase. He claims. And Tulia? She has no idea she's already his.
