Brandi Richardson had no faith left in family, because the people who should have protected her had only caused her pain.
Her father sent her to work for Mikey De Salvo as a mole, and she took the better pay while refusing to spy, fully aware that his disappointment would soon demand a price.
She assumed the man stalking her was that price, until he left her bleeding and beaten on her bedroom floor and she decided to flee before he returned.
Mikey already had more than enough to manage between his security company and the digital backbone of a mafia empire, so he had kept the brilliant employee he did not trust at a careful distance.
Covered in bruises and ready to run, Brandi forced a choice he would not hand to anyone else.
He answered with marriage, and with the protection and power attached to the De Salvo name.
