He owns the city. She owns her silence. But when a mafia king falls for a girl who sells roses, it's not just petals that bleed.
Lorenzo Moretti is feared, respected, and untouchable-the ruthless head of the Moretti crime syndicate in New York. Cold-blooded. Calculated. Dangerous. Until a chance encounter at a quaint flower shop turns his world upside down.
Elena Russo has only known survival. Orphaned young and hardened by grief, she hides behind blooms and thorns, guarding her heart fiercely. When a mysterious, dark-eyed stranger walks into her shop and keeps coming back, she knows he's trouble-but she never expected him to be Lorenzo Moretti.
He wants her. He'll have her. No matter what it costs.
But Elena isn't a damsel waiting to be saved-or claimed.
As danger circles closer and enemies within Lorenzo's empire threaten to rip everything apart, love and loyalty are put to the ultimate test. Because in his world, everything comes with a price... and claiming her might just cost him his soul.
