About this book

When a traumatized man finds himself in the care of a guarded nurse who's determined to keep her professional distance, their connection becomes anything but clinical—and suddenly, one person's struggle to survive becomes another's reason to fight. Dante is drawn to Gabriella's strength, while she discovers that beneath his roughened exterior is someone worth risking her carefully constructed walls for. But their fragile new beginning is threatened by the dangerous underworld that refuses to let Dante go, pulling loved ones back into a conflict that could destroy everything they're building together. It's a passionate, emotionally charged story about finding light in darkness and choosing love even when the stakes have never been higher.
