Final Affair

Early 1800s – Venice, a city veiled in mist and shadowed secrets. For Viola, time is a thief, stealing her life breath by agonizing breath. Three months remain, and one desperate vow: to taste the forbidden fruit of earthly pleasure before the final curtain falls. Escaping the suffocating constraints of her noble family, Viola seeks refuge in the city's clandestine underbelly, a den of whispered promises and veiled encounters. Her intention is clear: one night of unbridled passion with a stranger, a fleeting rebellion before she orchestrates her own dignified departure from the world. But fate, cloaked in darkness, has other plans. Dante, a creature of exquisite sin and immortal appetites, stalks the shadows of Venice. When he intervenes to save Viola from a brutal assailant, he senses not just vulnerability, but a fierce yearning beneath her delicate facade. To protect her from her reckless pursuit of dangerous liaisons, he offers her a night steeped in sensual promise, a dance of pleasure meant to deter her fatal quest. But the discovery of her untouched innocence ignites a hunger within him that transcends mere carnal desire. Horrified by the raw intensity of their encounter, Viola flees, her resolve to embrace oblivion stronger than ever. But Dante, a predator unaccustomed to denial, will not let his prey escape. He finds her teetering on the precipice of self-destruction and vows to deliver the pleasure he promised, a slow burn of exquisite torment and tantalizing surrender. One kiss, one touch at a time, he will awaken the sensual fire within her until she craves his darkness as much as he craves her light. But as their forbidden connection deepens, forces beyond their control begin to stir, threatening to shatter their fragile world and expose the ancient secrets that lie hidden beneath the shimmering surface of Venice. Prepare for a descent into intoxicating darkness, where life and death intertwine with forbidden ecstasy.
