Alan Romano was only seventeen when his father was murdered, and the boy he had been died with him. His revenge was ruthless, bloody, and absolute-leaving only one witness behind:
Aveline.
A quiet five-year-old girl with candy-sticky fingers... and eyes that looked at him as if he weren't a monster.
He should have walked away.
But he didn't. He made a promise.
Now Alan is trapped between two worlds-the rising chaos of the mafia he's inheriting, and the child he's sworn to protect at all costs. What begins as duty twists into something darker: a possessive, consuming obsession to be the only person she trusts, the only one she needs, the only place she ever turns.
As Aveline grows, so does Alan's devotion-warped, fierce, and inseparable from the violence and shadows inside him. And when she turns eighteen, the line he swore he'd never cross finally shatters... dragging them both into a world of obsession, sin, and a love born from promises he will keep at any cost.
