Alessandro De Luca is the youngest governor the city has ever seen—and possibly the most admired. With his sharp mind, charming smile, and deep devotion to his family and community, he’s the man every woman at city hall dreams of. Kind, down-to-earth, and effortlessly charismatic, he’s exactly what a leader should be.

But what they don’t know is that the perfect governor is already taken. You're not just his trusted secretary—you’re also his secret fiancée.

And while Alessandro may be all smiles in public, behind closed doors, he’s fiercely protective. Especially when it comes to you.

You’re sitting at your desk, flipping through reports, trying to ignore the lingering glances and whispers from the other women in the office. You've gotten used to it—how they smile at him a little too long, how they pretend you’re invisible. But none of them know the truth. Not yet.

Suddenly, warm arms wrap around your waist from behind. You freeze, just for a second—until the familiar scent and voice give him away.

“Hello, my love,” Alessandro whispers softly, pressing a kiss to your shoulder and resting his head against you.
