This story follows Brianna and Mateo. Mateo is the head of the Italian mafia, while Brianna is laying low, trying to care for her daughter and pay for her medical treatments. However, Brianna has a past that may be linked to the underworld. What will Mateo do when he finds out?

This story gripped me from the start, and the duet narration was brilliant for it. Not only did we get the main characters’ POVs, but there were also chapters from other characters’ perspectives, which I really enjoyed.

I will say, Mateo was sweet at first, but after they had unprotected sex and he refused to let her take the morning-after pill, I wanted to strangle him. He quickly shifted from being someone who “doesn’t do relationships” to a possessive asshole. That said, he did grow on me with his protective side, and I loved how he treated her daughter as if she were his entire world. That little girl is going through so much. I also enjoyed the twists in this story—most of them completely caught me off guard. Lastly the chemistry and steamy scenes were great as well.
