Soft, elegant, and reserved, Valentina Bruno is the only daughter of the deceased mobster, who’s lived her entire life hidden from the world. Raised in a gilded cage, Valentina is now a pawn for her brother’s greed.
She’s not going without a fight.
In order to ruin her brother’s plans, Valentina must rid herself of the one thing prized above her life: her virginity. If she can find someone to take it, she becomes free of his control. All that’s left is to find a willing participant.
Briar O’Brien is the reclusive, reckless hacker and brother to the Irish O’Brien clan’s leader. He’s been estranged from the family since he was fifteen, but he’s returned to Boston to assist his sister. First order of business? Kill the Bruno pest who keeps trying to destroy her.
All his plans for revenge fall apart, when his eyes land on Valentina—until she botches his assassination attempt. But their initial distrust leads to a star-crossed romance and obsession neither can deny.
As they navigate mafia politics, strained loyalties, and their families at war, they will have to risk everything for a love that never should have been—or lose each other to a doomed fate.
Will their love survive, or will old family hatred keep them apart?
