Julianna thought she had everything figured out a solid career, a polished image, and the independence she fought hard to earn. But a weekend trip home reminds her of the one thing missing: love. And it comes rushing back in the form of Antonio, the childhood friend who once owned her heart.
Only Antonio isn’t the same man she left behind. Whispers of his ties to organized crime follow him everywhere, his name linked to power built in shadows. One look at the weight in his eyes, though, and Julianna can’t ignore the pull. Her heart leans in even as her mind warns her to run.
Now she’s torn between the safety of the life she’s built and the dangerous gravity of a man who asks for more than trust. Standing by him could cost her everything her career, her freedom, even her heart.
Can Julianna hold onto herself while loving Antonio, or will his world consume them both?
