Alenna Meadows is a 25 year old mafia boss who can't seem to figure out how she's fallen in love with 26 year old Lorenzo who's supposed to be babysitting her son.
She's a single mom with a violent past and a tendency to solve problems with bullets. He's a soft-spoken babysitter who still apologizes to stuffed animals and solves problems with flowers.
She hired him to keep her son safe and happy while she kept the rest of the world dangerous.
Falling for him?
That wasn't supposed to happen.
She's all sharp edges. He's all soft hands. They aren't made for each other's worlds.
So why don't they want to leave?
