When her reporting edges too close to the Moretti family, it draws the attention of Lorenzo Moretti the tattooed Italian underboss whose calm hides something lethal.
At first, it's surveillance dressed up as protection. Then it turns consuming. Lorenzo tracks her from the shadows, every route home, every late night. He's pulled toward her resolve, her refusal to bend, in ways he can't shut off. Aisha feels it too the weight of eyes on her back, the hum of danger in the air and still she pushes forward. The closer she gets to the truth behind her father's unsolved murder, the tighter obsession coils around them both.
When Lorenzo abducts her, claiming it's the only way to keep her alive, their worlds slam together. Hate. Guilt. Want. Trapped in close quarters, the line between enemy and protector smears. An old vendetta binds them, and each heated look, each reluctant touch, feeds a fire neither can put out. Rain streaks the windows. Time runs thin.
In a world ruled by loyalty, betrayal, and blood, Aisha must decide if she can trust the man who stalked her steps and whether the pull between them is worth losing everything.
