Untouchable

A Dark Mafia Romance

She was never supposed to matter.

Ámbar Acosta has spent her entire life being told she's worthless. Treated as a servant in her own home, beaten for mistakes she never made, and denied the love every child deserves, she learned long ago to stop hoping for a different life. The only kindness she's ever known comes in secret — chocolates left on her nightstand at dawn, a brother's whispered apology, a driver who calls her "sweetheart" when no one is listening.

Then her father sells her.

To settle a debt he can never repay, Norberto offers his daughter to Adrián Ferraro — the most feared man in the territory, a mafia boss who levels everything in his path, and the last person anyone would call gentle. Ámbar expects cruelty. She expects to trade one cage for another.

What she doesn't expect is for Adrián to kneel.

"Your fear — I didn't buy that. It doesn't belong to me."

Behind the cold commands and lethal reputation, Adrián sees what no one else has: a woman so broken by the people who should have loved her that she sleeps in corners, apologizes for breathing, and flinches at kindness because she's been taught it always comes with a price.

He won't touch her until she asks. He won't let anyone else touch her at all.

Rule number one: she is not to be touched.

But the enemies circling the Ferraro name don't care about rules. And the secrets buried in Ámbar's past — about who she really is, where she truly comes from, and the father who loved her all along — are more dangerous than any of them realize.

As Ámbar sheds the girl who knelt and becomes the woman who fights, she'll discover that the most powerful thing in Adrián's world isn't a gun or a fortune.

It's the word no one dared to say until him.
