This Side Of Quiet

Her smile was light. His world was darkness.

Janelle Rodriguez owns the sweetest little flower shop in town - always smiling, always kind, always covered in sunflowers. She lives for soft petals, warm mornings and making strangers smile.

Then there's Dante Rossi - cold, ruthless, feared. A powerful Italian mafia boss with a permanent scowl and blood on his hands. The kind of man people whisper about in fear.

So why does he keep showing up at her shop?

He claims he's just buying flowers for his office. But everyone knows Nicolas Romano doesn't care about roses. The truth is: she's the only peace he has left. The only light in his violent world.

He won't admit it. She doesn't understand it. But somehow, between the thorns and the petals, their worlds begin to collide. And the one thing more dangerous than Dante's enemies... is what he's starting to feel for the innocent girl with flowers in her hair.
