He's danger wrapped in designer suits. She's sunshine in stilettos. Together, they're fire and honey.
Alessio De Luca doesn't do softness. The heir to one of New York's most feared crime families, his world is blood, control, and cold-blooded power. But when his empire crosses paths with her-a curvy, confident, and unapologetically sweet bakery owner named Lila Monroe-his iron resolve begins to crumble.
Lila has never met a man like Alessio: terrifying, intense, and sinfully gorgeous. And though she knows better than to get involved with the mafia, something about his fierce protectiveness draws her in like gravity.
She bakes cookies. He breaks kneecaps. But when the underworld targets her for reasons she doesn't yet understand, Alessio will do anything-burn cities, kill kings, and betray his bloodline-to protect the woman who's made his cold heart feel warm for the first time.
This is a story of obsession, seduction, body positivity, danger, and a love that refuses to stay in the lines.
