$800,000. That's what my father owed. That's what I'm worth to Dante Moretti. He's cold. Calculating. Obsessive. He watched me for three years before he took me. I shot him.

It's a simple promise: no criminals, no dangerous men, no connections to her only brother Lirio who now took over her father's mafia empire. Roslyn made a promise she intends to keep—no matter the cost she'd never fall for a killer. Then one moved in next door—all dark eyes and dangerous smiles, claiming to be a friendly stranger. Augustus's lying. He's the Apex. And he's hiding in her backyard. Fresh from winning the Blood Gauntlet and claiming the title of Apex—the deadliest young assassin in a generation—he's supposed to be lying low, healing, and staying invisible while every crime family in the hemisphere hunts him for the ultimate prize: a favour from the Mafia Lord himself. Instead, he's stealing roses from her garden to leave on her window, pillow, in between notebooks. And slowly, dangerously, becoming part of her world. She tries to hate him. He makes it impossible.

And unknowingly their fate is uncovering a conspiracy.

Or is survival worth living without it?
