I don't care that she's the boss' cousin and far beyond my reach. I've been patient, trying to ease her fear of men, but the time has come to claim what's mine.

Giovanni

One year. That's how long I've wanted my boss' cousin. I've worked my way up the ranks, dedicating my life to the syndicate while I tried easing Francesca's fear of men.

The time has finally come for me to claim her.

Francesca

Seven years ago, my family's enemy took everything from me. I've been determined to get it all back. When Giovanni is nearly killed by those same enemies, our friendship changes to something more.

Until a secret emerges that could destroy everything.
