I hired him to protect me. I never expected to need him.

Nicola Moretti knows power comes with a price. As the reluctant heir to a criminal empire, he's built walls thick enough to keep out blood, betrayal, and the kind of desire that could undo everything. But when a threat closes in and trust becomes a risk he can’t afford, he’s forced to rely on the one man who makes control impossible.

The enforcer with fire behind his eyes and scars he doesn’t speak about.

Their deal was simple: stay close, stay quiet, don’t get involved. But in the heat of forced proximity and darkened rooms, lines blur and tension boils over. What starts as a tactical arrangement quickly unravels into something far more dangerous—because the man sworn to protect Nicola might also be the one to destroy his defenses completely.

This is Book Two in The One Last Job Series, a dark, slow-burn MM mafia romance full of enemies-to-lovers angst, forced proximity heat, emotional trauma, and protective obsession.
Expect sharp suits, bruised hearts, gunmetal tension, and love that bleeds before it heals.
