After tragedy strikes the renowned Romano crime family, their future relies on Don Leonardo Romano's only heir: Valentina Romano. After years in exile, she returns to New York and is handed the keys to an empire. Though the violent, patriarchal Cosa Nostra underestimates Val at every turn, she is determined to ascend to her rightful place at the head of the family. No matter the cost...
As the Romano family's most notorious hitman, Matteo Costa is intimately acquainted with the darkest corners of New York's underworld. He's certain the new Romano heir won't survive long. The Italian Mafia is no place for a woman, even a woman as beautiful and cunning as Val. But when Matteo is assigned to serve as Val's bodyguard, he has no choice but to help her rise...
As their relationship grows, the lines between bodyguard and principessa blur, and Matteo realizes that the greatest threat to the Romano dynasty might just be his own desire.
Note: The Hitman's Heart Series is set in a different universe than the Vows and Blood Series.
