One night to escape. One chance encounter. One tangled future neither of them saw coming.

Dominic

I've waited thirteen years for this. For the evidence. For the chance to destroy the man who made my life hell and nearly ruined my family's legacy. Now, with everything I need to take down Benito DeLuca, I'm on a flight from Livorno, Italy to the Jersey Shore, ready to expose the truth to my aunt Josephine Steel and her sons.

But before the storm? I need one night. One breath of peace before it all begins.

I didn't expect her.

Delaney is light in a dark world I've been surviving for far too long. One night with her at the Hotel Casino becomes more than just a distraction—it's a fire I can't forget.

Delaney

I was supposed to be starting over.

Fresh out of college, I have a new job in NYC, and I'm staying with my best friend and her fiancé. But before real life begins, I take one night for myself.

One spin at the slot machine. One drink. One stranger.

Dominic is intense. Quiet. Italian.

One night turns into something unforgettable. Then I learn who he really is... and what he's about to do.

Can a one-night connection survive the chaos of revenge, legacy, and secrets? Or will the truth destroy everything before it begins?
