A slow-burn mafia romance with secrets, rules, and a silence that speaks louder than words. Angel never planned to become a nanny for a mafia king. She just wanted to survive college, stay loyal to her long-distance boyfriend, and juggle exams and rent with as much grace as possible. But then came Zayn - a guarded little boy with a sharp tongue and a pain too big for his age. And with Zayn came his father... Rafael Moretti. Cold, unreadable, and bound by rules he never fully explains, Rafael hands Angel a job, a warning, and a list of eighteen rules. Only eighteen are written. The nineteenth ? She has to find it herself. Trapped between a child who starts to need her and a man who watches her too closely from the shadows, Angel walks a tightrope of boundaries, secrets, and emotional landmines. Rafael doesn't believe in second chances. Zayn doesn't believe in love. And Angel? She's not sure what to believe anymore. But silence has a way of breaking everything wide open.
