He's a lethal, blood-soaked mafia hitman. She's a chaotic artist who refuses to be his victim. Welcome to the underworld.
Piper Bellamy's life is a messy blur of bright colors and unpaid bills. But her reality violently shatters when her scumbag ex skips town, leaving her as collateral for a $500,000 debt to an underground gambling ring.
Enter Enzo. Known in the criminal underworld as the Ghost, he is a massive, heavily scarred hitman for the Salvatore Family. A man of absolute, terrifying control, he is sent to collect Piper to be sold to the highest bidder. But when the monster kicks down her door, Piper's brain completely misfires. She doesn't beg or scream. Instead, she critiques his muddy boots and offers him a slice of stale pizza.
Utterly paralyzed by her bizarre audacity and total lack of fear, Enzo's dormant, primal protective instinct snaps awake. Defying his Don's direct orders, he takes her back to his heavily fortified compound to work off her debt, keeping her trapped-and safely under his watch.
Thrust into a gothic mansion full of apex predators, Piper accidentally infects the entire compound with her chaotic sunshine. She paints vibrant sunflowers over the bloodstains in the interrogation room, forces burnt cookies onto terrifying snipers, and aggressively psychoanalyzes the guards. Soon, a family of hardened sociopaths falls in love with her, adopting her as their untouchable mascot.
Meanwhile, Enzo's obsessive need for control crumbles. He is fiercely possessive, violently jealous, and deeply addicted to her noise. But just as they surrender to their explosive mutual attraction, the past catches up to them. And when Piper is taken by a rival Russian syndicate, the final tether of Enzo's humanity breaks.
He will burn the city to ashes to get her back. And his men are ready to mutiny against their own Don to help him do it.
