In the brutal world of mafia families, Giovanni "Gio" Romano has built an empire that most fear and few dare to challenge. As the ruthless don of one of the most powerful families, he keeps a tight grip on everything-and everyone-around him. But despite his iron rule, there's one thing he can't control: his mute son, Lorenzo "Lory" Romano. Abandoned by his mother years ago, Lory is all Gio has left, and while Gio may be tough with the world, when it comes to his son, he's fiercely protective.
After firing yet another nanny who couldn't handle Lory's silence and complexity, Gio finds himself reluctantly on a commercial flight back to Italy, surrounded by his close-knit family and their loyal guards. That's where he meets Aurora "Rory" De Luca, a woman who never expected to be thrown into this dangerous world. Rory has her own dark past-she's the ex of Adrian Ivanov, the ruthless son of Gio's rival, and she's been trying to escape the trauma of their toxic relationship.
As fate would have it, Rory is seated next to Lory during the flight, and her natural way with the boy wins over Gio's family. They begin to push him to hire her, seeing something in her that Gio cannot deny. But Rory's connection to the Ivanov family complicates things-she's trying to outrun a past she can't fully escape, and Gio can't shake the feeling that she might have a hidden agenda.
What starts as a professional arrangement quickly turns into something more dangerous as Gio's past collides with Rory's, and the two of them are thrust into a world where trust is fragile, loyalty is everything, and love may be the one thing that destroys them both. When an unexpected threat emerges, Gio and Rory must decide if they can truly rely on each other-or if the dark shadows of their past will tear them apart before they ever get a chance to find happiness.
