His Perfect Sin

MAIN CHARACTERS

MAIN CHARACTERS

EMILIA CARTER

Age: 20

Nationality: American

Born:  America

Residence: Los Angeles, California

Occupation: Second-year medical student

"People think silence means weakness. They never realize it's just another way of surviving."

Emilia Carter is the daughter of two of Los Angeles' most respected surgeons.

From the outside, her life looks perfect.

Prestigious university.

Perfect grades.

Successful family.

A beautiful house.

But perfection has always been a prison.

Medicine was never her dream—it was the future her parents chose for her long before she could decide for herself.

After years of being compared, criticized, and emotionally broken down, Emilia learned one thing:

Silence is easier than fighting.

Yet outside her parents' house, she's someone completely different.

She's witty.

Sarcastic.

Confident.

The type of girl who teases strangers without thinking twice, laughs too loudly with her friends, and hides every crack behind a smile so convincing that no one questions it.

Every evening, when the pressure becomes too much, she disappears into a forgotten vintage library tucked away in downtown Los Angeles.

It's the only place where nobody expects anything from her.

Until she meets him.

DAMIANO DE LUCA

Age: 36

Nationality: Italian

Born: Milan, Italy

Residence: Los Angeles, California

Occupation: Founder & CEO of De Luca Holdings

"Il controllo è potere. Le emozioni sono una debolezza."

("Control is power. Emotions are weakness.")

Born into old Italian wealth but determined to build an empire of his own, Damiano De Luca left Milan years ago and turned Los Angeles into his kingdom.

Hotels.

Luxury real estate.

Private equity.

Technology.

If there's money to be made, his name is already attached to it.

The Italian media crowned him Il Diavolo di Milano, The Devil of Milan. A nickname he never denied... because devils don't waste time correcting people.

Damiano doesn't believe in luck.

He believes in control.

Everything in his life is planned.

Every decision is calculated.

Every emotion is buried.

To the world, he's a billionaire.

To his competitors, he's a nightmare.

To his employees, he's untouchable.

He isn't loud when he's angry.

He's terrifying because he doesn't have to be.

Calm.

Calculating.

Manipulative.

Possessive.

A man who always gets what he wants.

Until a twenty-year-old medical student unknowingly walks into the only place in the city where he can disappear from the world.

She wasn't supposed to matter.

She wasn't supposed to become an obsession.

And she definitely wasn't supposed to make him question the one rule he'd never broken:

Never lose control.
