“You shouldn’t taste good to me, Scarlett. I shouldn’t know how you taste. Do you know why I shouldn’t know that, kitten?” he says, his eyes narrowed as he stares me down, “Because you married my best friend, my business partner. Dead or alive, I should not be touching you like this, shouldn’t even be looking into your direction, but here I am. F*cking craving you even though you piss me off to no end.”

In the dark heart of New York's ruthless mafia underworld, Scarlett Romero, the grieving widow of the revered Romero family Capo, grapples with the shattered remnants of her life following her husband's fatal assassination. Enter Nico Acosta, her late husband's enigmatic best friend and fiercely powerful right-hand man, whose dangerous allure is matched only by his handsome looks. When the heads of the family decree that Nico and Scarlett must unite to lead the Romero empire together, what once brewed as animosity between them now simmers into an inferno of longing they're determined to resist. And with every new encounter, their undeniable chemistry grows. But Nico is guarding many secrets, including one that could destroy his tumultuous relationship with Scarlett—and bring down the entire family in a storm of ruin and retribution.
