In a world where loyalty is everything, can love survive the ultimate betrayal?
Julian Russo lives by a strict code. No attachments. As the unyielding head of the Moretti Crime Family in North Boston, Julian prides himself on his discipline and detachment. He’s witnessed love tear apart too many lives to fall victim himself. Enter Francesca "Frankie" Leone, the fiery new bookkeeper introduced by her cousin, Marco. Jules despises her audacity and sass, yet he can't deny the magnetic pull between them. Against his own rules, Jules lets Frankie into his bed and into his heart, drawing her into the very core of the Italian Mafia.
What Jules doesn’t know is that Francesca Leone is really Frankie Nowak, an undercover FBI agent with a personal vendetta. Assigned to the case after Sal Giordano's ruthless killing spree, Frankie seeks justice for her sister Beth, who was murdered under the orders of Jules's predecessor. Yet as she infiltrates deeper into Jules’s life, Frankie’s black-and-white mission blurs to grey. The cold-hearted crime lord she expected to find is instead a man of complex morals and unexpected warmth.
As the deadline for her assignment looms, the tension between her duty and her growing feelings for Jules reaches a boiling point. Frankie’s heart and mind are at war: betray the man she’s come to love or abandon the mission and let her friend’s death go unavenged. In a high-stakes game of passion and deception, will the lies destroy them both, or will love set them free?
