25-year-old Emilia Hart has always believed in kindness, even in a world that's forgotten what it means to be gentle. When she lands a job as the personal assistant to cold, calculating mafia leader Lucien Moretti, she quickly learns that goodness has no place in the shadows of crime.
But Lucien is more than the blood on his hands. Behind the gunfire and secrets, Emilia sees something broken-and beautiful. As they grow closer, they take in a 14-year-old orphan named Ivy, who brings out a softness in them both. For a while, they find peace in each other, in their unlikely little family.
Until Ivy is kidnapped.
Now, Emilia will have to dive deeper into Lucien's brutal world, fighting not only for Ivy's life-but for the fragile love that's bloomed in the unlikeliest place.
