POISONOUS DESIRES
A Devious Series Novel

“Some monsters kill to protect you. Others kill to possess you.”

Adelina Massimo has spent her life imprisoned by lies, abuse, and silence. Caged by a powerful stepfather with a badge, haunted by a missing twin, and stalked by shadows she can’t escape, she’s been taught one thing: no one is coming to save her.

Until him.

Rocco Dante is not a savior—he’s a monster in an expensive suit. Cold, calculating, and violently obsessive, he’s the darkness Adelina has been running from… and the force she can’t resist. The moment he lays eyes on her, she becomes his obsession—his target, his temptation, his possession.

When Rocco murders her stepfamily to “free” her, Adelina is thrust into his ruthless world of blood, power, and twisted devotion. But survival comes with a price. As she’s dragged deeper into the mind of a man who loves like a storm and claims like a predator, she must decide: will she fight the darkness inside him, or surrender to the one rising within herself?

Their connection is toxic. Their love is a war. And in this game of control and chaos, the line between protector and captor blurs.

Because in Rocco’s world, love doesn’t heal.
It haunts. It scars. It consumes.
