Arin is the heir to the most dangerous mafia family. Ronan is his protector, his brother. That's all it was ever meant to be. Until one night changes everything. Ronan never saw it. The way Arin looked at him. The silent feelings woven into every glance, every touch. And now, with the truth laid bare before him, he doesn't know if he can accept it. Because Arin isn't just the boy he swore to protect. He's the heir to an empire built on blood, bound by duty, trapped by fate. And if Fluke, Arin's father ever finds out what's between them... Loving Arin doesn't just mean breaking the rules. It means signing his own death sentence. And Ronan isn't sure if he can stop himself from falling.
