Niccolò Neri has lived his entire life in the dark. As the oldest Don in New York, he knows better than anyone that men like him don’t get happy endings—they destroy them. So he watches instead. From across the restaurant. From the street outside. From the shadows where he belongs. The head waitress at Notte Bianca works too hard, sleeps too little, and pretends she isn’t breaking under the weight she carries. Nico tells himself distance is protection. Because once he steps into her life, he won’t be able to step out again.

Years ago, one reckless night changed her life forever—and she’s spent every day since making sure Niccolò Neri never learns the truth.
