I never planned on going toe‑to‑toe with the most dangerous man in New York. But when Sebastian Romano sets his sights on my art gallery, suddenly I’m the only thing standing between a ruthless mob boss and what he wants.

He’s used to fear. He’s used to obedience. He’s used to getting everything without lifting a finger. But I’m the first woman who tells him no… and means it.

What starts as a battle of wills turns into something far more dangerous. Sebastian pushes into every corner of my life and I should hate him for it. I should run. I should lock the door and pretend he doesn’t make my pulse trip every time he steps into the room.

But when everything around me starts to fall apart, he’s the one person who doesn’t walk away. The man I should fear most becomes the only place I feel safe.

Powerful. Possessive. Deadly. Sebastian Romano is a storm I never saw coming… And I’m starting to wonder if the only thing more dangerous than his world… is how safe I feel in it.
