Worth Keeping: A Dark Mafia Forced Proximity Romance (The Venetian Rose Series Book 2)

Useful… or gone. He hasn’t decided yet.

In Luca Moretti’s world, you’re one of two things.

Useful…

Or dead.

I should already be gone.

Instead, he keeps me.

Watches me. Tests me. Pushes me further into a world I was never meant to see.

Three weeks.

That’s how long I have to prove I’m worth keeping.

To learn his rules. Follow his commands. Survive the man everyone else fears.

Because Luca isn’t the kind of man who keeps you alive out of mercy.

He doesn’t cage you.

He breaks you.

And then decides what to build from what’s left.

I tell myself I’m doing whatever it takes to stay alive.

But the truth is worse.

I’m not afraid of becoming part of his world anymore.

I’m afraid I already have.

And once Luca Moretti decides you belong to him—

There’s no going back.
