Blurb
Rosalia Moretti knows exactly who her father is and what he's capable of. As the head of the Mafia, he has countless enemies and an endless list of people who want to tear him from power.
After being kidnapped two years ago as an attempt to get to her father, Rosa has been trying to put herself back together ever since, although she constantly puts on a facade so that everyone thinks she's fine. Ever since that near-miss, her father has assigned his most trusted man to watch over her and protect her, never to leave her side.
Rosa has always been drawn to Loren, even before her father assigned him to protect her, but now that they have to spend endless amounts of time together, her fascination with him and the searing attraction she feels towards him have only gotten stronger until it's almost impossible to hide.
All she knows is that she has to keep her feelings for him hidden, because she believes that he only sees her as someone that he's been assigned to protect and that he could never actually care for her.

There's only one girl that Loren Romero has ever wanted and she's the only girl he can never have.
Loren has been crazy about Rosa for the past three years and having to protect her all the time is only making it harder for him to fight the draw he feels towards her, but he knows that nothing can ever happen between them because his hands are stained with blood and she deserves so much better than someone damaged like him, which is why he made a promise to himself that he'd never give in to his feelings for her.
Despite his resolve to keep a wall between them, he finds that the more time they spend together, she somehow digs her way under his skin and into his heart until it's impossible to fight it any longer, no matter how much he tries to put distance between them once more.

Rosa has already been in danger once before and falling in love with Loren only puts her in more danger.
Loren has plenty of enemies that would be more than willing to hurt her in an attempt to get to him and it will take everything he has to protect the only girl he's ever loved, even if it means her father finding out about them and all hell breaking loose.
