Everyone knows who I am: Dante Giordano, capo to the new Chicago Mafia boss and member of the infamous Four. Ruthless and bad to the bone. That's me. Don't be fooled by my good looks and charm. I'm a dangerous man and I get what I want. Women, money, power. It all comes easy to me. All of it . . . except her . . .
Her ex-con ex wants her dead. I don't care who he is, he doesn't know who he's messing with. Nothing's going to stop me from protecting her. I get what I want. And I want her to be mine.

I witnessed my abusive ex murder a man in cold blood, and he knows I'm the one who told the cops it was him. When he gets mysteriously cleared of all charges I know I'm as good as dead. I'm fleeing for life and I have to protect my son.
It's not a good idea to run from one bad guy to another. Being with Dante is exactly that. He's a mistake, yet everything I need . . . I know he's bad news, but I also have a secret. One that could make him turn from me. I never meant for any of this to happen.
