He was born into a family he could never fully escape.
She built a life where men like him were never supposed to enter.
Nico Caruso is out of federal custody, but not free.
With four counts still hanging over him, an electronic monitor on his ankle, and a trial closing in, his future depends on one thing: proving a Milan financial document was altered without his knowledge.
The expert he needs is Giulia Romano.
Brilliant, precise, and impossible to pressure, Giulia has spent seven years building a respected consultancy in Milan, far from the criminal world her father once served at the edges. She does not do favours. She does not soften findings. And she has no intention of risking everything she built for the Caruso family.
Then Nico calls.
He does not threaten her.
He does not ask for loyalty.
He asks for the truth.
What begins as a professional investigation becomes something neither of them planned. Archives, forged signatures, hidden provenance, and old family shadows pull them closer with every answer they uncover.
Giulia knows exactly what Nico is.
Nico knows exactly what Giulia built to stay away from men like him.
But some people do not enter your life as a complication.
They become the thing you choose.
And in the Cosa Nostra, choosing someone has consequences.
The Outsider is Book Four in the Cosa Nostra series, a dark mafia romance filled with legal danger, Milan luxury, document fraud, forbidden attraction, powerful family ties, emotional heat, and a love story built between two people who refuse to lie about what they want.
