Shield by Gia Detroit

He sent her away to save her. She’s coming back to destroy him.

Matti thought sending Siena away would keep her safe. Breaking her heart—breaking his own—was the only way to protect her from the brutal world of the Demonio Brotherhood and to protect her from the truth. He walked away from the Demonio family for her, but no amount of distance can erase his burning obsession. Siena is his. Always. And he will get her back.

Siena refuses to be another casualty in Matti’s war. If he killed her sister, she’ll find the proof. If he didn’t, she’s coming for whoever did. Alone. Because trusting Matti means risking another heartbreak, and she barely survived the first. But the deeper she digs, the more dangerous the truth becomes—deadly enough to destroy her before she ever gets her revenge.

MATTI:

The day I let her go, I stopped breathing. Life without her is a slow, agonizing death. But she’s not safe—not yet. One last move. One last war. And then I’ll bring her home… whether she forgives me or not.

SIENA:

He shattered me. Left me in pieces and walked away like I was nothing. But I won’t break again. I’ll find the truth—on my own. And if Matti is the man I have to destroy? So be it.

Matti has one last plan. One final chance to eliminate the threat keeping him from Siena. And when the dust settles, she will know exactly who he is. What he’s done. And she’ll have to decide—can she still love the man who destroyed her? Or will his greatest sacrifice be for nothing?

Love. Obsession. Revenge. When the truth comes out, will they survive it?
