Dr. Alessandra Morelli has spent her life running from her family's dark past. As the city's top trauma surgeon, she's dedicated to saving lives—until the day a ruthless mobster with a wolf tattoo lands on her operating table. Vincent Russo is the feared enforcer for Don Antonio Salvini, a man who might have ordered her father's murder fifteen years ago. When she recognizes him, she faces an impossible choice.
Vincent lives by a strict loyalty above all. But when he discovers that the surgeon who saved his life is the daughter of his boss's greatest rival, his carefully constructed world begins to crumble. Especially when he realizes someone in his own family wants him dead.

As they navigate their precarious arrangement, an unexpected attraction ignites between these sworn enemies. But when they uncover evidence that Don Antonio betrayed them both, they must form a dangerous alliance to survive.
With time running out and enemies closing in, Alessandra and Vincent must decide if their newfound bond is strong enough to overcome a legacy of blood and vengeance.
