When Angelica Hale arrives in Italy in search of her birth father, she expects answers-maybe even closure. What she doesn't expect is to stumble into a crime scene... or into the sights of the Italian mafia. Now a target, Angelica is thrust into the dangerous world of Sebastian Alfonsi-a ruthless gangster with a gentle side he doesn't show easily, and a family name soaked in blood. He offers her protection and a chance to start a new life. But as their attraction grows so does the danger around them. With the walls closing in and enemies drawing even closer, loyalties blur, Angelica must decide whether to run from the danger-or dive headfirst into it.
