He was loyal to the family-until protecting a stranger made him a traitor.
Rafael De Luca doesn't fail. As a trusted enforcer for one of the most feared mafia families, he's known for cold precision and unwavering control. When he's ordered to extract a rogue who might have dangerous secrets, it's just another job.
Until the captive isn't who he expected.
Elian is infuriating, clever... and completely innocent. A man whose defiance masks vulnerability. A man Rafael has no business noticing-let alone touching. But when a skirmish triggers a bond neither of them understands, instinct wars with loyalty.
The deeper Rafael falls, the more Elian becomes a risk. A temptation. A secret worth protecting at all costs.
And the family doesn't take betrayal lightly.
In a world where power is everything, love is the one thing that could destroy them both.
