“You will come with me to Sicily.” These are the only words Santi Marchesi, a very dangerous Italian Mafoso, says to Haven Pierce right before whisking her away to his Sicilian estate. He owes her father a debt he could never repay in his lifetime, but her father was cashing in that debt in anyway by placing his daughter under Santi’s conservatorship—and protection—after his passing. Neither wants to be in this predicament, especially Haven, who is just getting used to her independence as an adult. Both are determined to stay out of each other’s way—until they share one dangerous kiss that could ultimately lead to their downfall.
