Lauryn Hall never planned on being an informant.
But when an art heist goes sideways and the FBI closes in, she’s given a choice—prison, or working undercover in the ruthless world of the Italian mafia.
Her assignment: get close to Matteo Bellandi, the retired mob boss and help dismantle the network from the inside.
But Matteo isn’t the monster she expected. Haunted by his past crimes and hiding in quiet exile, he wants nothing more than to keep the underworld at arm’s length. Yet Lauryn’s persistence draws her into his orbit.
While Lauryn fights to navigate her dangerous double life, her handler, Special Agent Richard Jean Pierre, pushes her harder, blurring the line between protector and predator.
His obsession with bringing down Matteo—and with keeping Lauryn under his control—threatens to unravel everything.
Torn between duty and desire, Lauryn must decide who the true enemy is: the legendary mafia ghost she’s been ordered to betray, or the man in the FBI who holds her fate in his hands.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
