"The crunch on the dirt informed her someone was walking towards her, probably the third assassin. She could feel his presence to her left but she made no effort to acknowledge him as he neared her. After a few moments, he cleared his throat nervously. “It’s time to go, Calisto,” his deep voice was barely audible and yet seemed to echo across the dirt and sand. When the girl didn't respond, he reached out to grab her shoulder. At the briefest touch, she snapped. Calisto was highly deadly; everybody in the business knew that. Messing with her was certain death." Fourteen year old Calisto finally had it. After all those years of being constantly drilled, she packed her bags and left to find her mother. In Southern Texas, four years later, is where life was altered yet again. Three assassins appeared, hired by Salvatore Valentino, slaying her mother along with the boyfriend Cali would have gladly called her real father. Unfortunately, Salvatore Valentino, Italian mob boss, was her real dad and he wanted her back home. Now, Cali's back in Vegas with her brothers and boys, running the streets and living the rich girl life others would die for. But the troublesome Spino mob soon roll into town, with stories of knowing Cali's mother and hoping to protect her from the father she despises. She's not sure if she can trust them, especially since their leader, Dmitri, seems to always have an ulterior motive up his sleeve. What's even worse is Cali is starting to become incredibly close with Dmitri's grandson, Zale. She's used to not feeling any emotion towards people, but this boy might just changing her ways. In the crazy world of guns, money, parties and lies, can Cali learn who to trust before it's too late?

He was born into the shadows. She was raised to uncover them. In a world where loyalty is bought with blood and silence is survival, their paths were never meant to cross. He was the quiet, cold son of a mafia family-someone who'd learned early that emotions were weaknesses best buried. She, on the other hand, was everything he wasn't: bright, kind, and fearless, a girl who smiled through the cruelty of others, even when her name was whispered with envy and hate. Her classmates despised her brilliance, mocked her joy, and tore her down in ways that left invisible scars. But while she stood alone against it all, she never knew someone had been watching-someone who made sure every hand raised against her never went unpunished. He protected her from the shadows, fought for her without ever being seen, and somewhere between the silence and violence, something inside him began to change. But time has a way of turning light into distance. Years later, he's the ruthless successor to his family's empire. She's a secret agent, trained to bring down that very same empire. Neither recognizes the other-until a mission gone wrong exposes her, and he takes her captive. Now, behind locked doors and under his watch, lies and truth blur like gunfire in the night. Between the crosshairs of duty and desire, they'll discover that the most dangerous kind of love... is the one you're forbidden to have.
