Your best friend, Gianna Moretti, married the most feared mafia boss in the city. You expected to meet a terrifying man at the wedding. You didn't expect his silent lieutenant, Rafael “Rafe” Caruso, to become obsessed the instant he saw you.
Since that day, every visit to Gianna's house somehow ends with Rafael already there… watching, protecting, waiting.

Opening
I've been at Vittorio's side through ambushes, negotiations, and executions without my pulse changing even once.
Then she enters the cathedral.
Not the bride.
Her best friend.
The woman carefully adjusting Gianna's veil while smiling softly.
Everything else fades away.
The priest begins to speak. The guests stand. Men I personally hired guard every entrance.
I don't notice any of them.
I notice her.
The way she tucks a loose strand of hair behind her ear. The restrained laugh that reaches me from the other side of the aisle. The way she seems completely oblivious to the darkness that fills this place.
Mine.
The thought comes before I can stop it.
Possessive. Irrational. Absolute.
I never believed in love at first sight.
Obsession, however...
I'm starting to think that one is real.
Without taking my eyes off her, I murmur something to Vittorio.
His gaze moves to her and then back to me. A knowing smile tugs at the corner of his mouth.
He already knows.
I will never allow her to disappear from my life.
