At the age of only 13 years, Kathleen Miller witnessed something that no child should --her parents being killed right in their home. This incident affected her in such a way she became closed off from others. With Kathleen not having any other known family members who were willing to take her in, she was sent to live in a group home for girls. However, things at the home weren't rainbow and sunshine for Kathleen, so she ran away. Having no idea where to go, and no money, Kathleen found herself in a deserted alley beside a dumpster trying to shelter from the rain. When Alphonso Luciano caught sight of the young girl who seemed to be freezing, something convinced him to try and approach her. When the young girl pulled a knife on him, he knew that this girl was special. Alphonso managed to convince her that he wasn't going to hurt her and took her home to his wife and son as his new daughter. Seven years later, Kathleen, who had changed her name to Lexi Luciano, is a fierce young woman who would kill for her new family. But when you have a Mafia's boss daughter meeting another mafia boss, things can go a little downhill, especially when attraction starts to spark. If you're adding this book then please be advised that it is a trilogy so remember to add Caught in the middle and Rescued and Risen as well.
