I should have never saved Vincenzo from bleeding out on that warehouse floor. Us meeting was a chance encounter, and in my naivety, I played the hero to a hot mafia boss. It set off a chain of events I could have never foreseen.
If I had walked away, I would have still been going about my normal life in med school. Now, I’ve gotten sucked into the dark underworld of the mafia, patching up injured criminals in an old warehouse.
When I have to pretend to be his girlfriend, I find myself getting lost in the charade. It should be difficult, horrifying even, to play the part of a Capo’s girlfriend. But we slip into the roles with ease, a seamless performance that blurs the line between reality and pretense.
I should hate Vincenzo for dragging me into this criminal lifestyle. But there is a deep magnetic pull between us I can’t ignore. No matter how hard I try to tear myself away from him, I only get closer.
I’m completely unaware there is a secret hiding in this warehouse that threatens to ruin everything between us.
