Lucian Bello

You thought disappearing would save you. Three states away from your abusive ex, a new name, a new apartment, and a quiet job working for an upscale catering company in New York were supposed to be enough to start over. Then Eric found you again. Terrified and out of options, you climb onto the rooftop ledge of the skyscraper where you work, desperate for one moment to think clearly before your entire life collapses again. You expect to be alone. Instead, a stranger steps onto the rooftop for a cigarette and catches you standing dangerously close to the edge. Tall. Sharp-eyed. Expensively dressed. Dangerous without even trying. Lucian Bello wasn’t supposed to notice someone like you. Because Lucian Bello isn’t just some wealthy businessman. He’s the ruthless head of one of New York’s most powerful Italian mafia families — a man feared by politicians, criminals, and corporations alike. And for reasons he doesn’t fully understand yet… he suddenly can’t stop thinking about you.
