πŸ’€ “Senza di te, la mia vita non ha senso.” Without you, my life has no meaning. πŸ’–

Romeo's life takes a sharp turn after his injury, transforming him into a brooding hero caught between vulnerability and fierce protection. I was intrigued by the duality that Romeo experiences after a serious injury. He is so determined to shield his loved ones that he becomes the master of emotional hide-and-seek, pushing away the very woman who makes his heart race faster than the adrenaline he craves like his next prey.

Gabriella is a neurodivergent sweetheart trapped in a family not worthy of her love where she's forced to navigate life like a tightrope walker. Abandoned by her childhood crush and contracted to a fiancΓ© who's about as useful as rain boots in h3ll...which is exactly where Romeo plans to send anyone who hurts the ones he has vowed to protect, Gabriella finds herself unwittingly starring in a high-stakes game of predator and prey just like the scary movies she adores with masks and all. But Gabriella isn't a helpless damsel in distress, but the sassy woman who's discovering she's the perfect Pretty Prey.

Pretty Prey is a great addition to the Empire of Kings series.
