A psychology and criminology student, she's spent years dissecting the human mind-to hunt the truth behind her parents' death. When her latest research leads her to a quiet café, she's searching for answers. Instead, she finds fire and destruction.
Leonard DeLuca wasn't supposed to be there. The Mafia prince has spent his life in the shadows, following orders, cleaning up messes, never questioning his place-until now.

Trapped in his world, Evelyn refuses to break. But the more she digs, the more she realises that the truth isn't just tangled with the Mafia-it's buried beneath blood and betrayal.
"You saved me once, but tell me, Leo-who's going to save you?"
A dark, enemies-to-lovers romance where loyalty is a curse, love is a risk, and the truth is deadlier than both.
