She was supposed to watch his daughter. Not steal his heart.

Emilia Romano never meant to end up working for a monster. But when a scholarship falls through and her mother's hospital bills stack higher than her pride, she takes a desperate job as a live-in nanny for a reclusive Mexican mafia boss single father. What she doesn't realize-until it's too late-is that her new employer is Carlos Moretti, heir to the infamous Moretti crime syndicate. The very man she's been secretly investigating.

Carlos never lets strangers in. Especially not into his home. Especially not near his five-year-old daughter, Bella-the only good thing in a world built on blood. But when a last-minute emergency leaves him scrambling for help, he hires Emilia-fiery, beautiful, and far too nosy-without checking her background. A mistake he may not survive.

From the moment they meet, sparks clash. She's stubborn, smart-mouthed, and challenges his authority at every turn. He's cold, controlling, and infuriatingly irresistible. But behind Emilia's sharp tongue is a mission to take down his family. And behind Carlos's steel walls is a man who's slowly falling for the one woman who could destroy him.

As secrets unravel and enemies close in, Emilia must choose between the truth she's been chasing... and the forbidden love that could ruin them both.

Because in this world, love isn't just a risk.
It's a target.
