The Velvet Note

The Velvet Note

She walked into his world by accident. He has no intention of letting her walk away.

Sarabi Kapoor has learned how to survive.

By day, she's a struggling artist trying to make a name for herself. By night, she works at The Velvet Note, a luxurious jazz club where the city's richest-and most dangerous-men conduct business behind closed doors.

She's always known there were things she shouldn't see and names she shouldn't ask about.

Then she spills a glass of Scotch into the lap of the one man everyone fears.

Alessandro Moretti.

Cold. Calculating. Untouchable.

He's the head of one of the city's most powerful crime families, a man who built his empire on loyalty, blood, and fear. He doesn't make empty threats. He doesn't chase what he wants.

He simply takes it.

But Sarabi doesn't react to him the way everyone else does.

She doesn't bow.

She doesn't beg.

And when Alessandro gives her a phone number and tells her to call, she throws it into the night.

For the first time in years, someone has caught Alessandro's attention-and he isn't accustomed to being denied.

What begins with a spilled drink quickly becomes something far more dangerous. Sarabi finds herself drawn deeper into a world of secrets, rival families, betrayal, violence, and forbidden desire.

Because Alessandro Moretti may be dangerous...

But the greatest danger may be discovering that the man everyone fears is the one person she can't seem to stay away from.

In his world, love is a weakness.

And wanting her might be the most dangerous mistake he's ever made.
