I should be furious at Dad for promising me to his underboss, but I can’t!
Fabio De Luca, my father’s right-hand man, is the only person I would ever want to marry – but I guess he would rather see me in a casket than a wedding dress.
Not to mention, my brother’s betrayal has put me in the eye of the storm, turning me into a pawn between our Famiglia and the merciless Bratva he now commands.
Which is why my father assigns Fabio to protect me.
I have no choice but hold on to him for safety, regardless of his hate.
And yet, there are moments when our eyes lock, and I catch a glimpse of something else—something that feels dangerously close to desire… But it doesn’t matter anymore.
Not after what he did on my eighteenth birthday.
Because My Cruel Bodyguard now holds the key to my salvation—or my demise.
