Never walk alone after dark—Cara Strong should've heeded those words more carefully. Then again, she never expected a tired waitress, a nobody from a small town, would be anyone's target. When Cara wakes up, she's finds herself in a high-end auction. She's shocked when the Don of the Massimo Family takes her back home with him and offers her his protection.

Dante Massimo acquired Cara to spite a rival crime family. Falling for her fiery spirit and her sharp tongue had never been part of his plan. Cara doesn't belong in his world. She's too innocent, too good for someone like him. Dante never intended to keep her but he's changed his mind. He's beginning to see that she's exactly what he needs.
