Ruined by Desire
Luca Moretti is the kind of man women are warned about.
A billionaire playboy with a permanent smirk, a yacht full of secrets, and a reputation built on reckless nights and broken hearts, Luca lives for pleasure—not commitment. The tabloids worship him. The world envies him. And he’s never met a woman he couldn’t charm… until Sienna Vale.
Independent, ambitious, and completely unimpressed by his money, Sienna crashes into Luca’s glamorous world by accident—and instantly becomes the one woman he can’t stop thinking about.
What begins as shameless flirting and irresistible chemistry quickly spirals into something far more dangerous. Late nights in Monaco. Private jets. Hidden kisses. Headlines. Fights that burn as hot as their passion. For the first time in his life, Luca wants more than one night.
But loving a man like Luca comes with a price.
Because behind the charm and luxury is a man terrified of being truly known. And the deeper Sienna falls into his world, the harder it becomes to protect her heart from the chaos surrounding him.
He was supposed to be a temporary mistake.
Instead, he became her greatest temptation.
And she might ruin herself loving him.

Chapter: Chase MeLuca let Sienna walk away but it nearly killed him. He stood in the center of the ballroom long after she disappeared through the terrace doors, surrounded by music and masked strangers while one very inconvenient realization settled heavily in his chest. He was completely screwed. “Wow,” Matteo said, appearing beside him holding two champagne glasses. “You look emotionally devastated.” Luca took the champagne directly out of his hand. “I hate all of you.” “That’s fair.” Matteo studied him openly. “Did she reject you?” “No.” “That sounded unconvincing.” Luca exhaled slowly before dragging a hand down his face. &ld

Chapter: The Masked DanceMonaco apparently took masquerades very seriously. Sienna realised that the second Luca's car pulled up outside the estate overlooking the ocean.The mansion looked less like a home and more like somewhere movie villains hosted secret societies. Lights spilled across marble staircases while fountains glittered beneath the night sky. Luxury cars lined the circular driveway as masked guests drifted through the entrance in gowns and tailored suits worth terrifying amounts of money."Oh my God," Sienna muttered.Beside her, Luca looked deeply entertained."You say that every time Monaco behaves exactly like Monaco.""Because this city is unhinged.""Our city," Luca corrected smoothly.Sienna turned towards him."That felt dangerous."His mouth curved beneath the black mask covering the upper half of his face.Good Lord.

Chapter: Shopping with EmiliaSienna arrived at Madame Fleur already uncertain how she got herself into that position. The boutique was on one of Monaco's impossibly expensive streets between a jewelry store guarded like a national bank and a designer showroom with cars that cost more than small apartments. Everything about it screamed wealth. Which meant Luca Moretti was absolutely responsible."You're late," Emilia announced dramatically the second Sienna stepped inside.Sienna blinked. Emilia Moretti somehow looked flawless for ten in the morning wearing cream trousers, oversized sunglasses, and enough confidence to terrify governments."You texted me two hours ago.""And yet you're still late.""I already dislike shopping with you.""That's normal."Before Sienna could answer, Emilia grabbed her wrist and pulled her deeper into the boutique.The place was enormous. Marble floors. Gold fixtures. Endless racks of

Chapter: Private InvitationSienna woke to three missed calls from Theo and twenty-seven unread messages.Which usually meant disaster.Still half asleep, she reached for her phone and immediately regretted it.Theo: Call me RIGHT NOW.Theo: You're trending in Italy.Theo: WHY ARE YOU SWIMMING WITH LUCA MORETTI.Theo: I hope he at least replaced that masterpiece of a dress"Oh no," Sienna muttered.She opened social media and her stomach dropped with growing horror. Photos from the yacht had spread everywhere overnight. There were blurry images of her jumping into the water, Luca shirtless beside her, the two of them laughing on the swim platform.One headline read:MONACO'S MOST ELIGIBLE BILLIONAIRE FINALLY FALLS HARD?&

Chapter: No Strings Luca had lied - the water was freezing. Sienna surfaced beside the yacht gasping while Matteo howled with laughter nearby. "You said it was warm!" she shouted at Luca. Luca looked entirely unapologetic as he treaded water beside her. "I said Monaco was warm." "You're the worst." "And yet you jumped." Yes, she had. Sienna swam with the others back toward the lower swim platform attached to the yacht and Matteo hauled himself onto the platform first and held his hand out to help Sienna up. "Oh absolutely not" Luca muttered as he climbed onto the platform before her in one smooth movement and knocked Matteo out of the way to offer help to Sienna. She took his hand and he helped her onto the deck and almost directly into his very bare and muscled chest. And once again, Sienna forgot how breathing worked. Her dress clung to her skin now, which would've been humiliating if Luca wasn't looking at her like he was trying not to touch her. "The sexual tension is becoming unbea

Chapter: Midnight SwinSienna should've gone home after the paparazzi scare. Instead, she was standing barefoot on the deck of Luca Moretti's yacht at nearly midnight holding a glass of champagne she hadn't asked for while Monaco glittered around them like spilled diamonds."This is how people get murdered," she informed him.Luca leaned against the railing beside her, looking unfairly attractive in a black shirt with the sleeves rolled to his forearms."You think I invited you here to murder you?""I think billionaires are statistically suspicious.""That feels offensive.""It's meant to." His quiet laugh drifted across the water.After the disaster at lunch, Luca had somehow convinced her to come aboard Euphoria again under the argument that she "owed him one calm evening without paparazzi." Sienna still wasn't entirely sure why she'd agreed. Probably because he looked at her like she fascinated him. Which was becoming a serious problem."You're thinking very loudly," Luca said."I'm questioning my life c
