A standalone MM second-chance mafia romance in the interconnected Temptation Series, proving sometimes the one who broke you is the only one who can heal you.

Finn Rossetti didn’t believe in looking back. The brutality, heartbreak and betrayal of his past were better left buried. No one expected the boy abandoned to the streets of the underworld to survive, let alone rise. And a proud, unapologetically gay man climbing the ranks of the mafia? Impossible. Yet here he was, now consigliere to the mafia king. He’d built a life of discipline, success and control, never letting the scars of his past show.

But some wounds refuse to heal. Enzo Aiani was one of them. Once the young Don’s secret lover, his sin in the dark, Finn had been willing to give him everything, only to be left shattered when Enzo chose duty over love. At nineteen, Enzo wasn’t prepared to inherit a ruthless empire after his father’s sudden murder, but life doesn’t wait for readiness. Forced to prove himself worthy, he learned that every choice mattered and every weakness could get him killed. So he hid his truth. Because nothing was more dangerous than the desire and love he felt for Finn Rossetti.

Ten years have passed, and time has hardened him into a formidable leader, feared and respected, but he’s still haunted by the ghost of what he lost to achieve it. Now that the Americans are threatening Italy’s empire, allies must stand together, forcing Enzo to face the man who still owns his heart. Every glance, every touch, every word drags old memories to the present and reignites the raw, intense and irresistible fire that burns between them. Finn is determined to guard his heart, wanting only distance. But Enzo's done hiding. He’s willing to risk everything–his empire, his blood, his soul–for a second chance.
