Lucia:
Keeping my head down has kept me alive, so I'm clueless why I couldn't walk away when I noticed a little girl in distress. Her eyes were drenched as she fought to free herself from a large, intimidating man breaking her heart one finger peel at a time.
Although it would have been safer for me to ignore her silent request for help, when a child is in distress, I'm morally obligated to assist.
With my heart in my throat, I marched to her side, shoved my finger into the devastatingly handsome brute's chest, and protected that little girl with everything I had.
It's not like I knew the dashing suit-clad man was her father, and that she was afraid of a dentist appointment he'd scheduled for her and not the man himself.
Mistakes happen all the time. I just had no clue this one would place me in direct sight of the Cosa Nostra's most intimidating family, and that Dante Caruso is a man willing to do anything to make me a permanent fixture in his daughter's life... and perhaps his.
Dante:
I'm used to being the antihero. It's second nature in a family like mine. I've spent thirty-four years surviving in a world where trust is a luxury and loyalty is currency.
I know what it means to be feared and revered, but since becoming a father, I've stepped back from the role that's made me billions.
I want to forge something better for Camille-something that won't judge her solely on her gender... and the feisty blonde, who didn't cower like those around her when she spotted a child in distress, could help me achieve that.
My objectives have nothing to do with the fact that the stranger is beautiful, courageous, and tempting enough for me to want to break a five-year hiatus from s x.
My daughter wants this gorgeously stubborn foreigner in her life, and I'd rather take a bullet to the chest than disappoint her.
Though I'd be a liar if I said I was only pulling out my best tricks to ensure the busty blonde becomes a part of Camille's life.
Camille and I are a package deal.
You can't have one without the other.
And I'm about to have the time of my life teaching Lucia Martinez precisely that.
