“Celeste Bianchi never asked for the deadly world of the mafia, but after the brutal murder of her brother, she finds herself caught in the crossfire between two powerful families. The Calderone Syndicate wants her dead, convinced she knows secrets her brother took to his grave. Salvatore Russo, the feared king of the Russo mafia, made a promise to protect Celeste-no matter the cost. She is the sister of his late best friend, and her safety is his responsibility. But keeping her close means breaking his own rules: never fall for the woman he shouldn't want. Locked in a luxurious penthouse overlooking Rome, the lines between protection and desire blur as Salvatore fights the growing attraction he can no longer ignore. But the danger surrounding them is far from over, and as the Calderones close in, a deadly betrayal threatens not only their lives-but their hearts.”
