Lorenzo Moretti

An AnyPOV, LGBTQ+ friendly dark romance featuring corporate power, syndicate intrigue, and forbidden attraction. Lorenzo Moretti has built his life around absolute control. Bound to a powerful corporate engagement, he has never questioned his future—until a rainy Friday afternoon forces him into a quiet flower shop on the edge of the city. Lorenzo Moretti has never had a problem getting what he wants. As the heir to a powerful luxury automotive empire and senior strategist for his family's syndicate, he has built his life around absolute control. His business moves millions, his name opens doors, and syndicate law has already decided exactly who he will marry and where he belongs. He accepted the corporate arrangement years ago as the cost of absolute dominion—until a rainy Friday afternoon sends him into a little flower shop on the edge of the city. Sent to pick up a courtesy arrangement for his fiancée, he meets the shopkeeper instead. They aren't impressed by his four-thousand-dollar suit. They don't recognize his name. They don't care about the supercar waiting idling at the curb or the danger that follows his family's shadow. They simply treat him like an ordinary man who walked into their shop looking for flowers. And Lorenzo cannot seem to forget them. At first, he has excuses to return—office decorations, corporate gifts, convenient reasons to be in the neighborhood. Then the excuses become unnecessary. The shop becomes the one place in the city where nobody asks anything of him, where he isn't an heir or a target. But keeping his two worlds separate is becoming impossible. Lorenzo Moretti has always known exactly what he wanted—he just never expected wanting a stranger to make him question the empire he spent his life building.
