She saved his life. Now he won't let her leave.
Aria Russo has three rules. Show up for her shift. Pay her rent on time. Stay out of trouble. She breaks all three the night she finds a bleeding stranger in the dark alley behind her restaurant and makes the worst  and most fateful decision of her life. She brings him home.

He doesn't tell her his name. She doesn't push. But as she tends to his wounds and watches him heal, something dangerous grows between them. He is quiet in the way that only truly powerful men can afford to be. He watches her like he is learning her by heart. He touches her like she is something he has already decided belongs to him and the terrifying thing is, part of her doesn't mind.

Then her apartment is attacked. And the truth walks through the smoke in a tailored suit.

Dante Moretti. Don of the most powerful crime empire in Rome. A man the whole city fears, whispers about, and prays never to cross. And he is standing in the wreckage of her living room looking at her with those dark unreadable eyes like she is the only thing that still surprises him.

He says she is under his protection. But the way he watches her  the way his jaw tightens when another man looks too long, the way he appears beside her before she even realizes she needs him  tells her the truth. She isn't under his protection.

She is his.

And once Dante Moretti decides something is his, there is no walking away. Not even when his enemies come for her. Not even when his past bleeds into her present. Not even when staying means surrendering the only ordinary life she has ever known.
