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.

I’ll chase them away like the beast that I am to protect her. Like a caged bird, she’s desperate for freedom. Nikki sneaks out only to get snatched and sold as a bride. Even in the darkest room, the dirtiest corner of the world, I recognize her. She’s my little kitten. I buy her. Own her. Save her. Except she doesn’t see it that way… She wants her freedom and all I want is her and that baby.
