Once Bitten Twice Shy

For ten years, the world knew him only as a myth The Young Marshal. The government’s most classified weapon. The commander of 200,000 troops. A man whose face was forbidden from appearing in public. But Lorenzo Romano has finally come home. After a decade of bloodshed on distant battlefields, Lorenzo returns to Marina Azzurra with nothing but a duffel bag and a promise carved into his heart: Find Carolina Pescatori… the girl who once saved his life. She moved on. She became famous. She doesn’t even know the war hero the world worships was once the street boy she helped all those years ago. Haunted by war, burdened by secrets, and followed by a shadow of power he can’t escape, Lorenzo wants only one thing— to repay the kindness that kept him alive when nothing else could. But in a city of politics, wealth, hidden enemies, and old betrayals, the return of the Young Marshal is not a blessing… It’s a spark. One that could ignite a war far deadlier than the one he left behind. And when Carolina finally meets him a gain, she must decide— Is he the hero the nation calls a legend… or the broken weapon he believes himself to be?

As the world went on as usual, with people working tirelessly to make ends meet, studying sleeplessly to be complimented, and partying endlessly like nothing could stop anyone, suddenly there was a strange explosion in the sky. It only took one day for this explosion to completely change and disrupt the normal balance of everyone's lives in the world. What some once dreamed of has already happened.
