He stole me from my life to save his own. Now, I’m the only thing keeping the devil alive.
Dr. Aileen Jensen lives by a simple code: Do no harm. But when a blizzard hits Chicago and a dying man is dragged into her clinic by armed guards, the code changes to survive.
The patient is Raimondo Vecoli. The Don. The King of the City. He is shot, poisoned, and dangerously beautiful. And he isn't asking for a doctor. He’s taking one.
Kidnapped and imprisoned in his fortress on the edge of the frozen lake, Aileen is given a chilling ultimatum: Cure him in thirty days, or die.
Trapped in a gilded cage with a man who is equal parts monster and patient, Aileen must use every ounce of her medical brilliance to synthesize an antidote for a poison that shouldn't exist. But as the winter nights grow longer, the line between captive and caretaker blurs.
Raimondo is ruthless, possessive, and terrifyingly intelligent. He watches her with eyes that see too much. He touches her with hands that have taken lives. And worst of all, he makes her feel safe in the center of his violent storm.
But Raimondo has a secret. He didn’t just stumble into her clinic by accident. He hunted her. And when Aileen discovers the true reason she is in his house, she must decide:
Will she let the monster die? Or will she burn the world down to save him?
Her Ruthless Patient is a high-heat, high-stakes Dark Mafia Medical Romance. It features a brilliant trauma surgeon heroine, a possessive mob boss hero, and a "hurt/comfort" dynamic with a dark twist. No cheating, no cliffhanger, and a Happily Ever After that is hard-earned.
