A dark, steamy mafia romance where a ruthless kingpin is forced to protect the one woman whose past could destroy his empire... and the obsession he's buried for years is the most dangerous secret of all.
She should have been dead. She should have stayed away.
Dante Santoro built his empire on blood, silence, and the kind of control that makes powerful men flinch. He answers to no one. He protects nothing he can't afford to lose. And he has one secret he will take to the grave.
Then she walks back into his city. Alessa. The girl he saved when he was still young enough to believe saving people didn't cost anything. She's looking for answers about a past she doesn't remember, pulling at threads connected to bodies he buried himself.
He should make her disappear. Instead, he puts her under his roof, under his watch, under his skin.
Alessa doesn't know who Dante Santoro really is. She only knows he's the man standing between her and the truth. He's cold. He's calculating. And he looks at her like she's something he's been starving for.
They call him Saint. But the way he watches her has nothing holy about it.
She came for answers. He'll give her everything except the one truth that would make her run.
