Confident. Cultured. Charismatic.

I never wanted to lead.

But when my father, Don of the Caruso crime family, is murdered three months after my older brother's death, what I want doesn't matter.

Family comes first.

Especially when the same man who killed my father has taken my younger sister captive.

All hope of her return is lost until his golden-haired American lover lands in my lap.

Elodie Rivers.

The same woman I've obsessed over since our ill-fated meeting two years ago.

She's guilty by association, so I have no misgivings in using her for my own gain.

Until I come face to face with her again.

And even though she seems to have no memory of me, I can't deny the intoxicating pull between us.

The longer I'm near her, the greater my addiction grows until I'm sure of only one fact.

This woman belongs at my side.

Per sempre.

But how can I keep her safe when we're under fire from all sides?

And just how far am I willing to go in order to keep what's mine?
