I received a free e-copy of this book from the author (I think). I did not realize that "boss" meant mob boss. If I had, I would not have read it, as I am not interested in glorifying criminals. That said, the author gave the H & h character that made the reader want to know them better. Mia's mother worked for Levi's father, the Giotia mob boss, doing his books. She was from a rival "family", but first left the family to marry her husband and then fled the abusive husband, taken in by the Giotias. When teens, Mia and Levi were "in love" with each other, but never admitted it to each other or anyone else. One day, Mia's mother and 2 other "office staff" are murdered, while Mia was hiding under her mother's desk. Mia fled. That was 10 years ago(?) Meanwhile, Levi has been in prison for the last few years, but first thing he wants when he gets out is Mia. The story is a bit convoluted, and I won't give away the plot, but it was a good well written story.
