A slow-burn mafia romance with secrets, rules, and a silence that speaks louder than words.
Angel never planned to become a nanny for a mafia king. She just wanted to survive college, stay loyal to her long-distance boyfriend, and juggle exams and rent with as much grace as possible.
But then came Zayn - a guarded little boy with a sharp tongue and a pain too big for his age. And with Zayn came his father... Rafael Moretti. Cold, unreadable, and bound by rules he never fully explains, Rafael hands Angel a job, a warning, and a list of eighteen rules.
Only eighteen are written.
The nineteenth ? She has to find it herself.
Trapped between a child who starts to need her and a man who watches her too closely from the shadows, Angel walks a tightrope of boundaries, secrets, and emotional landmines.
Rafael doesn't believe in second chances.
Zayn doesn't believe in love.
And Angel? She's not sure what to believe anymore.
But silence has a way of breaking everything wide open.
