When the big scary mafia boss comes to small town New York in search of a distant daughter of an enemy and finds an overwhelmed, stressed, and vulnerable restaurant owner Valentina, he decides to swoop in and be her knight in shining armor (which was never the plan).

These two were very raw and real in their journey to be together. I respected the push, and drive of Valentina, especially in the sense that she refused to let Luca's money sway her away from her values.

I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
