When Nicolette was seventeen, she kissed me. And I did the only thing I could do—I pushed her away, even when it was the last thing I wanted.
I’m the son of a crime boss. Too old for her–and much too dangerous.
I only married her sister because I had to, not because I loved her. But Nicolette hates me for it.
She's twenty one now, and no longer the girl I remember. She's all woman, right down to her curves. But she's still too innocent for a man like me.
When her life’s in danger, my brother brings her to me for protection.
But when I see her again, protecting her isn’t the only thing on my mind.
