At 34, Clara is just trying to survive. Running a coffee shop and raising her three-year-old son, Liam, is all she has left after her boyfriend died in a wreck three years ago. She hasn't been touched by a man since. She hides her hourglass curves under an apron, but she can't hide them from Dante Moretti. Dante is 25, cold-blooded, and the most feared mafia don in the city. He's spent his life killing to reclaim the empire his uncle stole, and he has no room for weakness. But the moment he walks into Clara's cafe, he's obsessed. He doesn't care that she's older. He doesn't care that she has a kid. He wants to ruin her innocence and claim every inch of her thick, untouched body for himself. Clara knows he's dangerous, but when Dante looks at her, she feels a heat she's never known. He's younger, stronger, and determined to make her his. He'll protect her from his enemies, but who is going to protect Clara from the beast in his bed? "You haven't been touched in many years, Clara? Let's see if I can make you forget his name."
