Why would the most lethal man in New York kill for me... but refuse to touch me?
RENZO: I had a damn perfect plan. Twenty years plotting the downfall of the family that massacred my own. Revenge was so close I could almost taste it. But when Marco Romano decided to sell his little sister to the highest bidder, I sent everything to hell. I won’t hesitate to kill my own "brother" before seeing Valentina in a forced marriage. Any one of her smiles is worth more than a throne.
VALENTINA: I’ve spent years living under his protection, watching his eyes follow me across every room. Renzo Caballero, the most lethal soldier of the Romano family, my guardian... and the protagonist of all my forbidden dreams. The night he kills Marco to save me, everything changes. Secrets buried for decades begin to surface, and I discover that nothing in my life has been what it seemed.
And in the midst of it all, as the Romano criminal empire crumbles and the streets of New York run red with blood, Renzo and I play a dangerous game where forbidden desire could be our downfall... or our only salvation.
"RENZO: The Ruthless Protector" is the first book in the CRIMINAL ELITE series. A story of mafia, vengeance, and redemption where love is as deadly as a bullet.
