In a world where secrets are deadly, the biggest risk might just be falling in love…
Alessandro “The Shadow” De Luca, New York’s most feared mafia boss, has one goal this Christmas—win over Elena Harper, the sweet, normal florist who has no idea who he really is.
When he walks into her charming shop to buy flowers for his mother, he’s immediately captivated by her warmth, her innocence, and her complete lack of fear when faced with a man who makes the city tremble.
Determined to keep her out of his dangerous world, Alessandro pulls out all the stops to charm her while fending off the enemies who are closing in.
But Elena’s idea of a good time is arguing over which flower makes the best centerpiece, not dodging bullets or hiding from hitmen.
As their relationship blooms among snowflakes and bouquets, Alessandro finds himself tangled in a web of awkward dates, over-the-top gestures, and—oh yeah—trying to keep his mafia life a secret.
If Elena ever uncovers the truth, she won’t just be shocked… she might unleash a merry little vendetta of her own.
