Antonio Marinelli was born into La Cosa Nostra, but he refused to play the part written for him. While his Family demanded blood and loyalty, Antonio chose music instead-trading the business of bullets for a life on stage. His rules were simple: love no one, keep it casual, and always walk away. The script worked... until Anna Ivanov appeared and shattered his carefully composed life.
Anna never wanted this role. Assigned as Antonio's personal assistant, she recognized the opera he was conducting from the moment they met at the airport-and she had no intention of becoming his next aria. But when a drive-by shooting paints a target on her back, Antonio's Family closes ranks. Suddenly she's surrounded by dangerous men who want to protect her, control her, and maybe even claim her.
And then she's kidnapped.
Now the curtain rises on a deadly new act-one where every choice could mean betrayal, survival, or a love that breaks all the rules.
