Forbidden Love: A Tale of Alessandro "Flames" Petrakis Alessandro, known by his code name Flames, isn't one for romantic entanglements. His life revolves around guns, violence, and his role as a skilled bodyguard. A painful past left him with a deep scar from love - losing the only woman he cared for, which made him hesitant to let love back into his life. He'd rather relive his days as a Marine than risk heartache again. Enter the enigmatic stranger: a captivating blonde with sapphire eyes, breathtakingly beautiful, and someone he despises. Fate seems to mock him when this very woman walks into his world, the one person he swore to avoid at all costs. Despite his tough exterior and violent nature, she somehow manages to turn his world upside down. To him, she's the forbidden fruit, tempting him with a danger he can't resist. Though violence defines him, he'd drop his weapon, his guard, for even a moment in her presence. She's the reason he'd set the world on fire if it meant keeping her by his side. His mission: to protect Mia Tonelli above all else, under the alias Flames. A duty he'll carry out fiercely, but with a heart that's secretly vulnerable to the enigma that is the woman who threatens to unravel everything he thought he knew about love.
