PIETRO I’m already dead inside. Loving her could finish the job. Thirteen years ago, I died with my best friend Pablo in a warehouse ambush. I just didn’t stop breathing.
I’ve spent over a decade as a ghost. Ruthless, cold, already dead inside. Then Nora Kelly walks into my office. My new secretary. Sharp. Fearless. I swore I’d never feel again.
But she’s cracking something open inside me. Making me want to live instead of just survive.
NORA I’m lying with every breath. When he finds out, we’ll both burn. My real name is Nora O’Sullivan. I’m the daughter of the Irish mob boss who wants Pietro Sartori six feet under.
Every time Pietro looks at me with something that might be trust, I’m lying to his face. He thinks I’m his salvation. He’s letting me past walls no one else has breached.
I’m the knife aimed at his heart. And when he discovers the truth, there won’t be anything left of either of us.
