Teegan Monroe. The medical student. The sheer perfectionist. The chronic overthinker. Driven to help others and achieve her goal of becoming a physician, she has left her home to study in another city. Managing to stick her head in the books to keep to herself, nothing in her everyday life has been too exciting. That is, until she treated a certain patient in the ER.
Levi Amante. The mafia boss. The ruthless murderer. The master manipulator. Known for his crude and flawed nature, if Levi can’t get what he wants, he takes it. No matter how impulsive or hot-headed he may seem, he’s never let anything penetrate his tough experience. That is, until he’s treated in the hospital by a certain medical student.
Teegan is charmed by Levi, his alluring presence both a mystery and a temptation. Levi, too, finds himself infatuated with her beauty, intellect, and enticing vulnerability. As their lives become dangerously entwined, Teegan’s constant overanalysis clashes with Levi’s meticulous calculation. While she second-guesses his every move, he masterfully orchestrates the chaos he’s introduced into her life, pulling her deeper into his world.
And despite her better judgment, despite every instinct telling her to run, Teegan finds herself drawn to him, where she discovers her greatest fantasies and worst nightmares. With every lie told, every drop of blood shed, every ounce of trust tested and broken beyond repair, Teegan must choose between escaping the dangerous pull of a man willing to bend the world around her to his will, or surrendering to the chaos, putting her aching heart to the test.
