What if the man who stole your heart also took your sister's life? The Demonio family has ruled New York City's underworld for decades, leaving a trail of blood and destruction in their wake. When Siena's hunt for her sister's killer leads her straight into their crosshairs, the stakes couldn't be higher. She's stolen something they desperately want-and now they've sent someone to deal with her. Matti is a capo for the Demonio family, ruthless and unrelenting. Tasked with recovering what's theirs and silencing Siena, he knows the rules: family loyalty comes first. But Siena is more than just a target-she's a temptation he can't resist. Torn between protecting her and fulfilling his duty, Matti must choose: betray his family or his own heart. Siena: The sound of my sister's plane exploding haunts me every night. Revenge is all I have left-until he walks into my life. Matti is dangerous, gorgeous, and hiding secrets behind those piercing blue eyes. He's a distraction I can't afford... unless he's the one who destroyed my family. If he is, I'll burn his world to the ground. Matti: My job was simple: track her down, take back what she stole, and eliminate her. But from the moment I saw her, everything changed. Siena is mine now, and I'll kill anyone who tries to take her from me-even if it's my own family. Passion collides with vengeance in this dark mafia romance where love may destroy them both.
