Elena Rossi came to Tuscany to study organised crime—not to fall into the middle of it.
A late-night walk makes her the only witness to a killing, and suddenly the safest place for her is the one she can’t leave.
She wakes on Labaria—an island that doesn’t exist on tourist maps—under the protection of the D’Angelo family. Enzo D’Angelo is ruthless in reputation and exasperating in person: controlled, watchful, and the kind of man who gives orders like he’s entitled to be obeyed.
As secrets unravel and enemies close in, Elena must decide what scares her more: the man who says he’s keeping her safe, or the feelings he’s awakening in her. Because if Enzo is telling the truth, trusting him could be the only way she survives. But if he’s lying, loving him might be the one mistake she can’t outrun.
