Title: "Mine to Break, Mine to Protect"
---
Dark, Slow-Burn Summary:
Lucien Moreau, 32, was born in blood and raised by shadows. A mafia boss feared across continents, untouchable, unfeeling, and ruthlessly disciplined. He didn't fall in love. He broke people. Used them. Discarded them.
Until he saw Jamie.
Eighteen, fragile, and too pure for a world like his. Big, innocent eyes. Soft lips that trembled instead of smiling. A heart that flinched at raised voices. Jamie wasn't meant to be seen that night-but Lucien saw him.
And once he did, he couldn't look away.
Jamie was the unwanted stepbrother of Lucien's venomous girlfriend. A boy hidden behind locked doors, bruises tucked under long sleeves, and fear disguised as politeness. Sweet. Shy. Easily frightened. A porcelain doll dropped into a house of wolves.
Lucien should've ignored him. He had bigger things to conquer-territories, enemies, power.
But Jamie blinked at him. And in that blink was something Lucien never thought he'd crave: innocence.
Now, Lucien watches him from the shadows, speaks softly when Jamie's around, burns quietly every time the boy flinches. The urge to protect wars with the need to possess. Jamie, scared yet drawn to the man who should terrify him, starts to find comfort in Lucien's silence, in his rage aimed at everyone else.
But this isn't a fairytale.
Lucien's world is built on corpses and cruelty. And Jamie-he's too soft, too good.
Which means Lucien will either destroy everything to keep him safe...
Or destroy him just by loving him.
This is a story of obsession and control. Of bruises kissed gently. Of innocence falling in love with the Devil-slowly, painfully, completely.
And once Jamie is his...
Lucien won't ever let him go.
