Aspiring author Lyla Monroe is no stranger to the cruel things in life, and in love. As Lyla begins to develop feelings for a handsome yet mysterious stranger that seems hell-bent to protect her at all costs, she has to unravel pieces of herself and the past that she has tried to bury. Lyla is faced with the heart stopping realization that to love is cruel, but not to love may be the cruelest fate of all. Can she fall in love with a man she knows nothing about, or will his darkness envelop her for good?
Luca Cassano can't figure out why he feels so drawn to the random girl he found wandering the streets of New York at night. Neck-deep in his family's business and advancing war, falling for a woman is a reckless and dangerous distraction. He has no time or desire for things as trivial and passing as feelings, though the woman he's taken in and silently vowed to protect is threatening to change his stone-cold perspective on just about everything. Can he fall in love with a woman he fears he will inevitably irreparably harm, or is her love the only way out of the unbidden future in store for him?
