Lorenzo Marcelli is the most feared mafia don in the country—cold, untouchable, and utterly uninterested in anything that doesn’t involve expanding his empire. Except for his five-year-old son. Leo showed up on his doorstep screaming and swaddled, dumped there by a woman Lorenzo barely remembered. And for years, that was fine. Until Leo asked about his mother. Pressed for an answer, Lorenzo did what any emotionally unavailable criminal kingpin would do: he lied. He showed him a photo of a random woman and told him she was gone. Then she showed up. Now Gabriella Carter—a woman with zero ties to the mafia and one hell of a temper—is being forced to play mother to a child she’s never met, and live under the roof of the most dangerous man in New York. It was supposed to be a job. A lie. Temporary. But Leo is sweet. Lorenzo is terrifying. And the line between pretending and something more is starting to blur. Because nothing in this house is safe. Not the secrets. Not the rules. And definitely not her heart.
