Reclusive mafia king Kael Rourke has ruled his far-reaching underground empire with icy, unbreakable control for a decade, never letting a single crack in his defenses undermine the hard-won peace he forged for his loyal inner circle. But when soft-spoken neighborhood nurse Mia Carter stumbles onto his remote private estate by accident during a torrential late-night storm, tending to his unreported minor injury without even recognizing his infamous face, every boundary he has ever enforced shatters instantly. Falling for a bright, ordinary civilian with zero ties to his shadowed, high-stakes world is the most forbidden, reckless choice Kael could ever make, putting Mia’s safety directly in the crosshairs of every rival gunning for his throne.
