Dominic Castiano fell in love with Scarlet Melucci the very first day he met her in the halls of their private high school. But the type of business their fathers were involved are not the kind you talk about at the dinner table. It was that business that led to Scarlet leaving to live with her aunt and finish high school elsewhere. Fourteen years later, Scarlet's father Sal asks Dom to keep her safe. The same reason that led Sal to be on the outs with the Castianos has come to revisit him. Too much is at stake. Dom won't let her go again so easily so he will do whatever it takes to keep her.

Sigh... I love a good second chance romance mixed in with intrigue and suspense. Gotta love that mafia life! It's heart-pounding exciting, unputdownable till the end kind of reading. It's dark. It's mysterious. It's romantic. This series is unlike any of the author's typical stories, but I'm here for it!

I received an advance copy of this book at my request and voluntarily left this review.
