He swore he'd stay in the shadows. She made that impossible. Don't miss this dark mafia romance, now with exclusive bonus content!

Cassie
How do you get the attention of the handsome, brooding man across the street?

Step one: Leave baked goods on his porch. Even if he never answers the door and always returns the containers when I'm not home.
Step two: Spend a whole year trying-and failing-to accidentally run into him.
Step three: Have my boudoir photos accidentally delivered to his mailbox. Have him open them. Have him storm into my home and deliver the most panty-melting scolding of my life.
Step four? Still working on that.

Hans
I'm a dangerous man. The kind who's taken more lives than he can count. The kind who belongs in the shadows, not in the soft, golden glow of a woman like Cassie.

I should stay away. I have stayed away. But I can't ignore her anymore.

Not when I've seen her bedroom, inhaled her scent. Not when I watch her every night like she's already mine.

But no amount of cookies will change what I am. Love was never meant for men like me. I'm only meant for violence.
