One dangerous family. One determined Guardian. And the daughter caught between them. Her treacherous family ties could destroy them all...

MARIA

Criminals. Mafia. That's what everyone said we were.

I never believed the rumors, though. I'd know if anything shady was happening in my family.

Except...I didn't.

When my best friend disappears from the Belvedere, I knew I could find her. Because while I might be clueless about my family, I know everything that happens in my hotel.

That's when I found him.

I thought he was the bad guy. My enemy.

He wasn't.

But just because I misjudged him doesn't mean he can't destroy me....and my heart...

LIAM

The Rossi crime family is going down.

As a Guardian, it's my job to make it happen. I was ready for anything.

Except her.

Maria's clearly innocent. I didn't want to give her the dose of reality that destroyed her perfect world.

But I had no choice.

See, I need her. Being her fake boyfriend is the only way to get close to her family. She's a means to an end.

Except now, she's so much more. What I feel for her could ruin everything.

For both of us...
