In a world where traditions and loyalty to the family are above all, two men from rival mafia empires must risk everything to pursue their chance at love.
Vlad Solovey is a man on a mission. Fueled by his desire for revenge, the Russian crime lord is determined to hunt down his mother's killer. But when a steamy encounter with a mysterious stranger in California derails his plans, Vlad finds his single-minded focus wavering.
The last thing he expects is for that stranger to resurface in Vegas days later–and to discover he's none other than Nicola "Nico" Morelli, the nephew of a powerful Italian mafia don.
Nico Morelli loves his LA life. He has never had ambitions to assume control of his uncle's criminal empire in Vegas, but with his cousins unfit to lead and the family suffering because of their antics, Nico considers taking the reins. Vlad Solovey is simply a pleasant distraction.
Nico knows, in their world, Russians and Italians do not mix, and the consequences of this growing attraction to the Russian man could be deadly. Yet despite the danger, Nico and Vlad can't resist exploring the undeniable spark between them.
As they navigate their forbidden affair, the Morelli family power struggle plunges both their lives into chaos, threatening to expose their secret.
Now Nico and Vlad must decide how much they're willing to risk for a chance to make this relationship work–their secrets, their loyalties, and perhaps even their lives.
