I’m Franco DeLuca—a mafia man who lives for power and family.
My past is a scar that leaves no room for love, so they say I have no heart.
When a client owing me a substantial debt mysteriously disappears, I find myself at his restaurant, confronted by a spitfire of a woman who doesn’t care that I’m a made man.
Our verbal sparring turns dark and dangerous, and soon she becomes my captive.
Under my roof, every moment blurs the lines between duty and desire.
I tell myself I want nothing more—my dark past forbids it—but she pushes my limits, relentless in her pursuit to uncover my secrets.
In a world where loyalty is blood and power is everything, can this mafia boss ever let someone in?
Or will the truth about my past tear us apart before we even begin?
**Trigger warning** Dark romance elements and gore.
