I was hired to clean up his empire and reduce his risk.
Then I became the one risk he couldn’t control.
I don’t trust powerful men.
Especially not men like Mario Conti.
Older. Ruthless. Untouchable.
The newly established don of Chicago, with two grown sons, a dead wife no one talks about, and a family name that opens doors most people are smart enough not to walk through.
My job is simple.
Audit his company.
Protect Conti Enterprises.
Keep the wrong people from asking the right questions.
But nothing about Mario is simple.
His business is too controlled.
His family is too careful.
His secrets are too deeply buried.
And the more I push, the closer he pulls me.
Into his office.
Into his home.
Into a relationship as explosive as it is forbidden.
I tell myself I won’t fall for him.
Not for his power.
Not for his restraint.
Not for the way he makes danger feel like desire.
But Mario Conti doesn’t love gently.
He claims.
He protects.
He consumes.
And by the time I realize how dangerous his world really is…
I'''m already carrying his baby.
