When twenty-seven-year-old art lecturer Lyra Laurence accidentally runs over a man in a dark, deserted alley, her chaotic day goes from bad to worse. Instead of a standard pedestrian, she finds herself staring down at Renzo De Vale—a towering, dangerously handsome billionaire CEO by day, and the world’s cruelest, most ruthless mafia boss by night. Freshly betrayed by his own men and bleeding from a bullet wound, Renzo is near death. Driven by panic, an stubborn refusal to go to jail, and a complete lack of better options, Lyra dumps the 6'3" crime lord into the trunk of her sedan and blackmails her doctor best friend into patching him up.

Lyra only wanted to avoid a hit-and-run charge, but by saving the Don, she just drew a target on her own back—and stepped straight into a dark, seductive world she might never escape.
