At nine, Mia took a bullet meant for Julian Cross. He never thanked her—only called her stupid, useless, a burden. When a wrong car carries her to the wrong wedding, she says "I do" to a stranger: Damian Rossi, the most feared mafia boss on the coast. But Damian has been watching over her for years. He heals the wound Julian left behind, removes the bullet fragment from her brain, and gives her back her mind. When Julian finally comes crawling back, Mia is no longer the girl who waits.
