I was born to be the boss. Being a capo was never going to be enough, and when Dante offered to hand the reins over to me, I didn't hesitate. But I knew what kind of life would be in store for me. Money. Women. Danger. In the lonely hours of the morning, memories invade my thoughts. It's always her. The one woman who set me on fire. But that was over a year ago, and she's gone now. Until she's not. When Chloe walks back into my life, I'll do whatever it takes to protect her, even making her my queen. I have to protect her from her ex, a cartel boss who wants her dead. And I'm falling for her all over again. But Chloe has secrets, too. Secrets I can't unravel. Secrets that might just be the death-of both of us.
