He keeps everyone at a distance, but when it comes to her, he cant get close enough.
Damiano
As enforcer for the Galliano crime family, my only job is to keep our boss safe. I obliterate his enemies, I annihilate all threats, and I avoid any distractions—especially the kind that wants to spend the night after. So I should have crawled away from the stunning blonde who found me bleeding out in the park. And when I realized how truly awful she was at stitching me up, I should have run. But once she stroked my head just right, I couldnt go anywhere.
Then again, she thinks Im in a coma. She has no clue that I hear every whispered secret and feel every warm caress. That sponge bath? I was wide awake and should thank her for how she handled the situation that. . . arose.
This girl has no clue what shes doing half the time, but Im all in.
Paige
I have a dead-end job, my love life sucks, and Chicagos way too cold for a California girl. At least the mauled rabbit I rescued last month is doing great—I will pass the wildlife rehabilitator license exam this next time, Im sure of it. So, when I stumble upon an injured man refusing to go to the hospital, of course I help him too. Not because hes perfectly sculpted from Italys finest marble, but because he needs me. And since online videos taught me how to patch up my rabbit, Ive totally got this.
That is, until Damianos enemies track him down at my place, and he drags me into his dark world of violence, death, and destruction. No thanks, Im out.
Hes injured and shes in danger. Whos going to rescue who?
