For Angelo

Italian billionaire Angelo Valencia used to play by the rules

...
until life and heartbreak taught him differently. Now, he's a changed man, and instead of shunning his personal darkness, he embraces and revels in it.
There is no room in his life for innocence and sweetness. But then fate strikes, and he meets…her.
Lane.
A girl with the face of an angel, but whose soul seems as broken and twisted as his---
Everything about Lane makes Angelo want to crush her…play with her…consume her---
But it's an urge Angelo ruthlessly resists. For Lane, he tries to be selfless one last time, pushing her away for her own sake.
Because in her eyes, he sees she believes they can have a happy-ever-after.
But they can't.
