She was trained to mend. He was born to break.

Malina Calvano isn't just a doctor. Raised by the feared Roma Don and Donna Emiliano and Greta Calvano, she's spent her life stitching together bloodied soldiers and delivering the next generation of criminals. She doesn't flinch at bullets, bruises, or threats. But when war erupts between the Roma and Sicilians, Malina is tucked away in a covert medical bunker, waiting to tend the wounded.

Until a stranger stumbles through her doors, bleeding, brutal, and definitely not one of her parents' men.

Ciro Parisi is the Sicilian Mafia's deadliest weapon. Exiled to Siberia as a child and molded into a cold-blooded killer, he doesn't do mercy. But when ambushed and left for dead, he claws his way to survival and lands in what he thinks is an abandoned pharmacy... only to discover a woman with eyes like molten gold and a gun aimed straight at his soul.

She's the enemy. He's her nightmare.

As war churns through their families, Malina and Ciro are forced to choose: burn together in forbidden desire or destroy each other before loyalty turns lethal.
