As a mafia boss, Adam Santini has spent years building his empire under a façade of normalcy. The last person he expects to capture his heart is sweet, single mother Eliza. His obsession is instant, and he's determined to be a light in her dark world, even as he hides his own demons.
Eliza Huyen is barely holding her life together in the windswept town of Seaside, Oregon. The last thing she needs is complications while watching her back, but that's exactly what she gets when her son tugs on the sleeve of a charming man who seems too good to be true.
As Eliza lets him into her life, she feels something she hasn't felt in a long time—hope. But when her past comes for her with fury, everything falls apart. Even Adam's dark secret comes into the light to protect the woman he's come to love.
Adam refuses to let her go, so can Eliza embrace his darkness and find safety in his arms, or will her fears tear them apart with everything else?
