Encore with the Devil
READING AGE 18+
I thought he was a ghost from my past, but he came back with a marriage certificate and a billion‑dollar debt. He says I have to pay with my body—and my voice.
“You’re in breach of contract, Mrs. Moretti.”
Seven years ago, Dante Moretti was a broken sound engineer who broke my heart and vanished. Today, he’s the ruthless head of a global empire—and he just walked backstage to claim what’s his.
Me.
He brings a marriage certificate I don’t remember signing and a list of clauses that turn my world‑famous life into a gilded cage. He owns my label. He owns my jet. And he claims he owns my voice.
Dragged to a fortress in Sicily, I’m trapped between a secret past I can’t outrun and a “husband” who looks at me with equal parts hunger and hate. Dante swears he’s the only thing standing between me and the monsters who want to buy my soul.
But as the line between protection and possession blurs, I have to wonder:
Is Dante Moretti saving me from the fire…
or is he the one holding the match?
He’s my greatest sin.
My biggest secret.
And now, he might be my only hope.

Unfold
Of course he did.
The story I’d half‑built in my head shatters—the stupid, soft idea that he’d broken off a very convenient, very respectable future because some buried love for me refused to let him stand in front of an altar with another woman.
It wasn’t love.
It was logistics.
