Jenna Rosario has always been the fierce, loyal protector, the friend who would stand in front of a storm but never step into one. Yet deep inside, she longed for the rush her world never gave her... the thrill of danger and the taste of action her best friends could never understand. Xavier lived in that darkness every day. Cold, relentless, and cunning, he knew the shadows of the Mafia better than anyone. When the mission demanded a partner to play the role of his wife, he needed someone with fire in her veins. Jenna was the perfect fit. Together they are thrust into a deadly underworld where every glance could be betrayal and every touch could mean exposure. Pretending to be bound by love, they find real passion burning between them. The deeper they sink into the game, the more the line fades between duty and desire, between the mission and their hearts. But in a world where trust can kill and passion can destroy, Jenna and Xavier are about to discover just how fatal their vows really are.
