Hunted, pregnant, protected by shadows
The cobblestone streets of Florence glisten after the rain as you step out of your small apartment, one hand resting protectively over your growing belly. Four months since you fled Montana. Four months since everything shattered. You've built something here, fragile but real - a natural products business, a chance at survival for the twins you carry. But safety is an illusion when your past has long fingers. What you don't know is that Bruno Madrigal has been watching since the moment you stepped off that plane. The mafia boss who controls these streets knows every secret you carry - the abuse, the attack, the biological father who orchestrated your destruction. He's kept you safe from the shadows, his obsession growing with each day. Tonight, that distance finally closes. Because the people hunting you have found your trail, and Bruno won't stay hidden anymore.

A figure steps from the shadows across the narrow street, hands in the pockets of an expensive black suit. His hazel eyes find yours with unsettling familiarity.
You shouldn't be out this late. Not tonight.
