Love was never supposed to be part of the deal.
Leilani Russo never planned to get tangled in the criminal underworld. But when a split-second decision pulls her into the orbit of Luca Moretti-the cold, calculating heir to one of the most feared mafia families-her world begins to burn.
He's danger in designer suits. A storm she should run from.
Then there's Aiden: the man with a badge and a past that won't stay buried. He's everything Luca isn't-safe, steady, and everything she used to want.
But hearts don't follow logic. And in a world where loyalty means life or death, she's about to find out what happens when you fall for the one who was never yours to love.
Two men.
One war.
And a choice that could destroy them all.
