Reader discretion is advised.] “I don’t kill women, but you’re testing how far I can bend that rule.” Bianca Williams only wanted one night to celebrate her twenty-fourth birthday with drinks, laughter, and a little freedom. But the night turns dark when she stumbles into an alley and witnesses a brutal murder. She tells herself it was just the alcohol, a bad dream she’ll forget by morning. Until she wakes up to find three men standing in her bedroom, and one of them is the killer from last night. Vicenzo Vitale. The cold, enigmatic Italian Mafia don with a body carved from sin. He tells her she wasn’t supposed to see what happened, and if she doesn’t come with him, he’ll frame her for the murder… and kill her sister. Enzo claims he needs her to take care of his brother Miguel, but that’s only the story he tells. The truth is far more dangerous, Bianca is the long-lost daughter of the Russian mafia king, a secret that could burn everything Enzo has built and ignite a war that’s been waiting to start. Now, trapped in a world of lies and blood, Bianca must navigate a dangerous game where every word is a weapon and every touch feels like a sin. Because Enzo Vitale didn’t keep her to protect her, he kept her to use her. And somewhere between hate and obsession… he lost control.
