Autumn Beaumont is a brilliant, fiercely independent young woman determined to leave her mark on the world. With a full scholarship to a prestigious university in Rome, she's ready to start over-rebuilding her life after losing both her parents in the same year. She has her goals set, her heart guarded, and her future mapped out.
But fate has other plans.
When Autumn crosses paths with Antonio DeRucci-the most feared Mafia boss in Italy-her carefully built world begins to unravel. Ruthless, powerful, and dangerously magnetic, Antonio is a man who takes whatever he wants... and now, he wants her.
What begins as a chance encounter soon turns into something far more sinister. One moment, Autumn is studying beneath the golden glow of Rome's evening lights-and the next, she's swept into a world of luxury, violence, and secrets that could cost her everything.
Antonio never believed he was capable of love-until the American girl with fire in her eyes made him question everything he's ever known. But obsession can be a dangerous thing... and when power, passion, and possession collide, someone always gets burned.
