She was the calm in the middle of a storm, simple, warm, and rooted in the soil she tended every day. He was the storm itself: feared, ruthless, and ruling the dark underworld with an iron fist. Katherine lived a quiet life as a farmer's daughter, far from the violence of the city, until a twist of fate dragged her into the dangerous world of Killian, the most powerful mafia boss in the country. He is a man who knows nothing but power and blood, yet he finds himself inexplicably drawn to her innocence and light. But in Killian's world, love is a weakness, and affection is often mistaken for a trap. Torn between protecting her and destroying everything he touches, Killian faces a cruel choice: love her enough to let her go, or love her enough to kill anyone, and anything, that stands in their way.
