Riley's life is simple-wake up, brew coffee, repeat. Working at a quiet café in the city, she thrives in routine, never expecting danger to walk through the door. But then *he* arrives-**Romano Vitale**, a devastatingly handsome stranger with a taste for black espresso and an aura of quiet command.
What Riley doesn't know is that Romano isn't just another customer. He's the ruthless **heir to the Italian Mafia**, a man who deals in blood and power. And when a rival faction threatens her by accident, Romano does something reckless-he **claims her**.
Now, Riley is trapped in a world of shadows, where loyalty is bought with violence and desire burns hotter than betrayal. Romano will protect her at any cost... but can she survive the man behind the monster?
