"The underworld doesn't forgive. It doesn't forget. And it doesn't let go."
Mia Caruso thought she left it all behind-the grief, the chaos, and Marco Reyes, the reckless orphan who dragged her brother into crime and shattered their childhood.
But running from one nightmare only led her into another. After five years trapped in an abusive marriage, Mia finally makes her escape with her four-year-old daughter in her arms and forty-six dollars to her name.
Returning home was supposed to mean safety. Instead, it throws her straight into the crosshairs of a Mafia war.
Anthony is no longer the boy she remembers. And Marco? He isn't the troublemaker she once despised. He's the lost heir of the Moretti crime family-now a ruthless Mafia boss consumed by blood feuds and revenge.
Her return makes her and her daughter targets. But it also awakens instincts in Marco he never thought he possessed... and a dangerous desire he can't ignore.
As enemies close in, the danger Mia fled collides with the war Marco can't escape.
And the underworld always takes what it wants.
This time, it wants them both.
