GIULIA New York was supposed to be my escape. A mafia princess finally breathing on her own. Instead, my father sticks me with the one man I should fear most. Alessandro Vitali.
The enemy who almost killed my sister-in-law. The man my brothers would shoot without a second thought. Now he’s my driver. My guard. He watches everything and stiffens when I flirt with danger.
Says ‘no’ with a growl that shouldn’t make my heart race. I should hate him. Maybe I still do.
But the longer we’re alone in the dark, the more I wonder what would happen if I ran toward the monster instead of away.
ALESSANDRO I used to be royalty. Now I’m the help. Exiled from my family. Bound to the Santoros like a weapon they own. My punishment? Guard the daughter of the man who destroyed my life.
Guilia is softness in a brutal world, danger wrapped in temptation. She thinks I’m her jailer. She doesn’t see the wolves I keep from her door.
Every time she tests me with that defiant smile, I should shut her down.
