I thought I buried my past the day I ran from Matteo DeLuca. Then I found him in handcuffs, smirking like he still owns my body, my heartbeat… and the secret he has no idea exists.
I swear I’m over Matteo, but the second our eyes lock across that interrogation table, every lie I’ve rehearsed collapses.
He’s danger in a tailored suit—power, violence, temptation.
The last man I should want. The only man my heart still aches for.
And the one person who can never know the truth about my son.
Then everything spirals—
A gunshot in the night, an intruder in my home, a threat aimed at the child I’d die to protect—
And suddenly, Matteo is everywhere. My shadow. My shield. My undoing.
Being pulled back into his world turns sparks into wildfire.
One reckless kiss cracks my entire life open.
And the man I swore off becomes impossible to resist.
But loving him is a danger in its purest form.
A rival family wants revenge.
My hidden child is their leverage.
If Matteo discovers the truth at the wrong moment…
I won’t just lose my career.
I’ll lose the only family I have
---My Review Notes 5 STARS TITLED: Great Story, a Keeper
Matteo DeLuca comes face to face with the ADA Sofia Napoli. And it's not a good greet and meet ! He's chained to an interrogation desk awaiting his fate ! He wants to see her and be freed from prison and live his life free again ! He has plans !
Detective Shaw is a pain in Sofia's side; a constant leering, smirking thorn. He's a pain to just about everyone but Sofia is definitely his target ! Turns out he's not the only one that she shouldn't trust ! She believes in law and order but some people in her office haven't got good motives like she does. She does struggle with her attraction to Matteo and others start to want to remove her..permanently !
Matteo soon finds that he's got some people around him with impure motives as well. I liked Matteo though. Hes learned to be patient . He's learned that in prison, where he had to learn to curb his hot temper more than ever.And he's doing a good job although people are trying to get him to lose it ! He's going to need a lot of patience when it comes to showing Sofia that he really is a changed and still a changing man, He fights to make a new beginning to the DeLuca family so that it isn't one of chaos anymore. His men don't follow him because they fear him but because they are loyal to him and fight along side him to make sure things can begin to change to the new vision.
The Valenti family, the men are relentless and violent in their pursuit to destroy Matteo, Sofia and their child Luca who is terrified when he gets stolen and held several times. But in the midst of it Matteo and Sofia come together to fight for their son and she learns how to stand stronger than ever before !
I liked the twists and turns and SURPRISES towards the end and how the whole story ends in the Epilogue.
I got an ARC from the author and was glad that I did !
