He was a monster, a killer, the type of man my brothers kept me away from.

Gio, my sister-in-laws brother and the head of the West Coast Cosa Nostra, was family and off-limits.

Maybe that was why I was so drawn to him. Violence and death clung to him like he was born in the pits of hell, and he thrived on it.

Despite everything, I started a relationship with the devil himself, and I fell in love.

I had to keep it a secret, knowing my brothers would kill Gio if they found out.

But when I discovered I was pregnant, hiding it was impossible.

To make matters worse, Gio and my brothers found themselves entangled with a dangerous new syndicate.

It was a situation that threatened to ignite chaos and conflict, involving everyone I cared about.

Including my new forbidden lover and the baby we were bringing into this hell on earth.
