Daisy Brooks never had an easy life. The tragic death of her mother shattered her world and left behind a huge void. Her alcoholic father filled her days with constant fear and torment. After years of abuse, she finally got the courage to pack her bags and leave her past behind her. Meanwhile, in the heart of the city, Dominic Valentino commanded a reputation that struck fear into the hearts of men and ignited desire in women. As the Don of the notorious Italian Mafia, he ruled the criminal underworld with an iron fist, his name whispered in hushed tones. His power was unquestionable, and he showed no mercy to those who crossed his path, with one exception, his little sister Lily. Fate intervened, and Daisy crossed paths with the notorious Dominic Valentino. They both come from completely different worlds. How will their entangled lives unravel?

His body was as powerful and sexual as I remembered it, he had gotten another tattoo on his shoulder since the last time, a few more scars then I remembered on his chest. His back rippled with muscles as he pulled on a fresh white shirt, my eyes transfixed as he took his time buttoning it up. Somehow it was almost more of a turn on watching him put on his clothes than him taking them off, almost. He wiped the blood off his hands with a kitchen apron in a slow steady motion and I pressed myself back against the wall when his eyes focused on me. My eyes flittered to the back door and I battled with myself on whether or not I could make it before he caught me, I couldn't. He tossed the apron over an empty sink and stalked towards me slowly, a predator in every sense of the word and my eyes drifted to the bloody mess of a man on the kitchen floor, was that going to be me in a second? He stopped just in front of me and reached out to stroke my cheek and I closed my eyes, leaning into his touch despite knowing better. My eyes snapped open when he grabbed my chin tightly and forced me to look at him, was this it, was he going to snap my neck and dispose of my body now? "Touch another man again, and I will kill you" his voice was low and promising and I swallowed as he let go of my chin, pressing a rough kiss to my lips before grabbing my elbow and dragging me out of the kitchen. So much for that arrangement...
