Description

I'm dragged into a dark, dangerous world by monsters who claim to be family. My only hope is my rescuer with gentle hands and voice, promising me and my son safety. Trusting him might keep us alive, or it might be the most fatal mistake I've ever made.

Massimo

My job is simple: extract Lucy Taylor from the clutches of her twisted family and bring her under our protection. But Lucy isn't what I expected. She's cautious but fierce in protecting her son. She doesn't trust me yet, but she will. Lucy Taylor and her son are mine. And I protect what's mine, even when the secrets that are about to come to light make her question everything.

Lucy

I've been kidnapped by strangers claiming to be my family. Then Massimo Caruso shows up, promising safety. He says I have people who want to protect me from the chaos I've been dragged into. But Massimo is part of that chaos, so how can I trust him? Every time I try to push him away, he pulls me deeper. Chipping away at my walls with teasing smiles and calming words and doting on my son. I have to make a choice--run from the man who claims I'm his, or trust him to keep us safe?
