Emergency nurse Nora Reed never expected that saving a shot Mafia boss would lead—thanks to an accidental electric shock—to sharing both pain and heartbeat with this dangerous man. From then on, whenever Damon Sterling gets hurt, she suffers too; and her every move starts to affect this cold-blooded man’s nerves.
To control this strange connection, Damon uses Nora’s father’s gambling debt to force her to stay by his side as his private nurse. But this seemingly fragile woman refuses to play along. Facing a feared Mafia don, she dares to talk back, resist, and challenge his authority and limits.
From daily verbal sparring to heart-pounding close bedside care, and through life-and-death rescues, the two people who seemed impossible to fall in love gradually get caught up in a dangerous and passionate emotional entanglement. But as internal Mafia power struggles surface, their unique connection becomes a deadly vulnerability that enemies seek to exploit. A long-buried family feud pushes them into unpredictably perilous situations.
When her pain becomes his weakness and his danger becomes a fate she cannot escape, will this deadly bond that started by accident end up being their salvation—or drag them both into the abyss?
