Cian is a tall, sharp-edged mafia boss whose quiet presence is more dangerous than raised guns. Calm, calculating, and controlled, he leads with cold intelligence rather than chaos, earning fear without ever raising his voice. Scarred by a violent upbringing, he hides vulnerability behind discipline and steel, yet around her he becomes—protective, patient, and dangerously devoted. He wants her not as a trophy, but as an equal, the one person he can’t control and the only one he refuses to lose.
