Blue Hour Café

Lena Johnson is twenty two, alone, and finally on her feet. After losing her addict mother at eighteen, Lena built her life up from nothing-working three jobs, saving every penny, and opening Blue Hour Cafe, a quiet slice of heaven in the city that never slows. Stability and independence is the one thing she refuses to lose.

One night out in New York City's club ruins that opportunity.

Matteo De Luca is twenty eight, disciplined, and the youngest Don New York has ever seen. Their encounter is supposed to be anonymous, like all the previous ones. But weeks later, fate traps them both when Matteo waltzes into Lena's cafe with his men and is forced to stare truth in the face.

She's pregnant. Considering the time line, the child is his.

Matteo's world catapults into Lena's safe haven and the men at his side are as well: Nikolai Adler, the sly tongued fixer whose charm hides a sharp mind; Sebastian Adler, his twin and the groups silent doctor, who prioritizes Lena and her unborn child's health and safety over everything else; and Julian Russo, the enforcer with undying loyalty and lethal protection.

Lena wants no part of their power-or violence. But, rivals creep in closer everyday and threats inch closer to her cafe, making it clear walking away isn't an option. Or running. Not when her life, her child, and future are at stake. She's trapped between danger and devotion, control and choice, Lena has to decide if she can trust four violent men with the only thing that's truly been her. In a world built on bloodshed and loyalty, love might just be the biggest risk of all.
