I'm a mafia man who lives for power and family.

My past has made it so love isn't an option.

Which is why some say I don't have a heart.

A client who owes a substantial debt to me has disappeared.

Sitting in his restaurant, I'm greeted by a woman who's a real spitfire.

She doesn't care that I'm Franco DeLuca a made man.

After a few more verbal exchanges things take a dark turn.

She becomes my captive.

During the time spent under my roof together the lines get blurred.

Because of my dark past I keep telling myself I don't want anything to progress between us.

She's testing my limits.

She won't stop until she learns about my secrets.

**Trigger warning** Dark romance elements and gore.
