Mistaken Identity, Damsel in Distress, Mafia Romance

“I went to Sicily for closure… and ended up falling for the man who kidnapped me.”

I come to Sicily to scatter my mother’s ashes.
To stand on the cliffs where she grew up and finally say goodbye.

Instead, I end up in the back of a van.
Blindfolded. Bound. Mistaken for the daughter of a rival mafia boss.

My captor is Leon Morello—cold, dangerous, untouchable.
At least, that’s what I think… until the cracks show.

The first time, it’s when he shields me with his own body during a gunfight.
The second, when he brings me my favorite tea after a nightmare.
The third, when he lets me watch the sunrise from the safety of his arms.

Somewhere between those moments, I stop plotting my escape.
Somewhere, I fall for him.

But loving him means becoming the enemy of his world.
And when that world comes for us, we can’t run far enough, hide deep enough, or fight hard enough to win.

Because if they take him from me…
I will burn this empire to the ground.
