𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞 𝐒𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐡 is a survivor. A single mother and a tattoo artist to dangerous men, she exists on the fringes of the criminal underworld, belonging to no one. Her life is her own.

Until the night 𝐀𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚 𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 walks in.

As the newly crowned Don of the Lucchese crime family, Andrea sees the world in assets and liabilities. After a bloody display of power leaves Charlie as a loose end, he claims her shop-and her-as his property. She's a reckless, infuriating complication he can't afford, and a temptation he refuses to resist.

He thinks he's containing an unruly employee. He has no idea that Charlie is the secret key to a war between the mafia and the cartel, with a lineage more dangerous than his own.

As his obssesion deepens, so does the danger. Every touch is a battle for control, every kiss a promise of ruin.

In a world of Bad Blood and brutal bargains, the only thing more dangerous than being Andrea Lucchese's enemy is being the woman he calls his heart.
