The Hacker's Firecracker: A Dark Mafia Romance (Moretti Hearts Book 2)

Tessa Romano already survived one monster.

Being kidnapped by her best friend’s stalker left scars that don’t fade—and questions she can’t silence. Recovery isn’t linear. Fear doesn’t just disappear.

But neither does her curiosity.

She studies psychology because she refuses to be powerless again. She wants to understand the minds that break people.

Serial killers have always fascinated her.

Now one is watching her.

Women begin disappearing. The patterns are intimate. Ritualized. Personal.

Matteo Moretti doesn’t study monsters.

He hunts them.

Not with guns.
Not with brute force.
But with code.

Security systems bend. Traffic cameras whisper. Firewalls collapse under his hands. He can dismantle a man’s life without ever stepping into the same room.

But love?

Love has always been the one thing he refuses to touch.

His father taught him that everything he loves dies. That attachment is weakness. That caring is fatal.

So Matteo built walls. Encrypted his heart. Buried the boy who ever wanted something soft.

Then Tessa walked in.

Brilliant. Brave. Still healing—and still choosing to be strong.

She doesn’t fear his darkness. She steps closer to it.

Now a killer has made the mistake of wanting her attention.

Of touching what belongs to him.

And Matteo is done pretending he doesn’t believe in love.

He will break laws.
He will cross lines.
He will burn down anyone who threatens her.

Because Tessa isn’t a weakness.

She’s his.

And this time, he’s choosing love.
