All I've ever wanted is to feel safe. He wants to upturn my carefully constructed world.
Losing my father shaped me. Pushing me into the dark.
Having my stepfather want to sell me made me run. Forcing me into the shadows.
Living on the streets wasn't the plan, but it's all that I could do. And I'd do anything to survive.
Until him.
Dario Gallo has bad news written all over him.
He wants to deconstruct the meagre life I've built for myself and force me back into the light.
In order to protect myself and those I care about, what else can I do but push him away?
Even though he's the only man who's ever made me feel protected. Safe.
He wants me, but he's part of a life I want nothing to do with.
The chemistry between us is undeniable.
Will he destroy me just like the Mafia did my father.
Or will he be the solace that I have craved for so long?
