He's sworn to protect her. He thinks he's the one in charge.
She thinks . . . that's cute.

By day, Gia Loren is a dedicated nurse with a coffee addiction and pink scrubs. By blood, she's Giovanna Marcelli - the daughter of one of New York's most dangerous mafia families. She escaped that life years ago. But the mob never forgets. . . and it never lets you go.

When a rival boss is murdered, Gia is forced back into the life she thought she'd left behind - and into the custody of Nico Vitali, her father's lethal, brooding bodyguard and the one man completely off limits.

Protecting Gia should be simple. Keep her alive. Keep his distance.

There's just one problem.

Gia refuses to play the obedient princess. She turns captivity into a game, determined to crack Nico's unshakeable discipline and prove she's anything but someone who needs saving.

The closer they get, the harder it becomes to remember the rules.

Giving in would mean death. But resisting her just might be worse.

Because in this city, love isn't safe. It's a liability.
And one mistake could cost them everything.
