In a world where loyalty is bought with blood and betrayal lurks behind every smile, Rafe Moretti has learned to live with darkness. As a rising force in the Moretti crime family, grief is the only companion he trusts-especially after the brutal death of his brother.
Until her.
Ava Hart is everything Rafe isn't-innocent, kind, untouched by the cruelty that chains him. She's the light he never dared to crave, the salvation he doesn't believe he deserves. He swore he'd keep her shielded from the violence that stains his hands... even if it means hiding the truth about who he is.
But the deeper Ava falls for the mysterious, broken man with haunted eyes, the harder it becomes for Rafe to keep his demons at bay. And when the secrets he's buried threaten to tear them apart, Rafe must choose: protect his angel by walking away, or pull her into the nightmare he's tried so hard to keep her from.
In the end, even angels have to fall to understand the depth of true love-and Rafe Moretti is ready to drag the world to hell before he lets Ava go.
