Rayna Todorov is no stranger to powerful men disrupting her life. As the daughter of a traitor, she's lucky to be alive at all. Instead of paying for her father's sins with her life, she's sold from her home, and subject to the ruthless Italians of The Casa Nostra. Forced to marry the worst kind of man, she does everything she can to shield her teenage brother from the worst of their world.

Elyse Ledger doesn't do love—not anymore. Her focus is firmly on her career and family. Between managing her parents and siblings and planning elaborate weddings at her family's winery, her schedule is packed, leaving no room for a personal life. So when her high school sweetheart returns to Red Mountain as the town's new deputy sheriff, she's determined to keep her distance—no matter how good he looks in uniform.

One thing about me? I don't play games. Another thing about me? I don't waste time. In my role as Mr. Black Detroit, my focus is supporting my community and planning the city's annual Juneteenth celebration. Again, my time is valuable. I should've ignored the text.

Or maybe it's the glimpse of vulnerability in her eyes. It's probably just her. Whatever it is in the beginning quickly morphs into something else entirely, though.

I tried to convince her to run from me. I tried everything I knew to make her despise me, but she never faltered, pushing back at every turn.
