After surviving a brutal betrayal and escaping captivity, Ava Moretti, a broken and haunted girl, finds herself hiding in a forgotten corner of the city. But nothing stays hidden forever-especially not from Dominic Voss, a ruthless mafia underboss with a trail of blood and secrets behind him. When he finds her on the brink of death, something in him stirs. He takes her in, not out of kindness-but because she may unknowingly hold the key to something he's been hunting for years. What begins as a cold calculation turns into something far more dangerous... for both of them.
