I never wanted to lead.
But when my father, Don of the Caruso crime family, is murdered three months after my older brother's death, what I want doesn't matter.
Family comes first.
Especially when the same man who killed my father has taken my younger sister captive.
All hope of her return is lost until his golden-haired American lover lands in my lap.
Elodie Rivers.
The same woman I've obsessed over since our ill-fated meeting two years ago.
She's guilty by association, so I have no misgivings in using her for my own gain.
Until I come face to face with her again.
And even though she seems to have no memory of me, I can't deny the intoxicating pull between us.
The longer I'm near her, the greater my addiction grows until I'm sure of only one fact.
This woman belongs at my side.
Per sempre.
But how can I keep her safe when we're under fire from all sides?

Review
ARC received in exchange for an honest review.
I think this a first for me from Pamela and I would definitely love to continue reading this series. Elodie - a woman who has so much hidden fight and strength is unreal - is passed off to a Mafia Dom to help save her family. Her inability to do that could put her sisters life at risk....
However Elodie disobeys Nico, the Dom, and goes to a wedding in Italy. Perfect.
She Meets Rafe, they hit it off, he kidnaps her and Elodie realizes she's bait to get Rafe's sister back who was kidnapped by Nico.
For the first half of the book, I read it. I kinda trudged through it as Rafe and Elodie discover each other, while trying to stay away from each other but they're failing. They do have a connection, one that's survived a few years, unbeknownst to Elodie, but it has.
Then as their love life kicks off, so does the story and my god, I couldn't put it down. I must admit, these were skipped a little bit because although I have no issue calling every Tom, Dick & Harry a C.U.Next. Tuesday, when they deserve it.... or don't.... I don't need it all the time. And personally C**T and P**sy are two words that i bloody hate in sex scenes. P**sy is a word that needs destroying along with f**ny from the dictionary.
AGAIN.. as I mention in a lot of my reviews that's a me thing. Not an other thing, or a book thing... 110% Caroline Thing.
PAMELA! How dare you do that! You ruined my 30 min break at work! Poor Sasquatch! I didn't want that! Other people may have found my tearing up funny but not me!
The last few chapters, from the Skye visit were the best chapters. I couldn't not finish the book and love how it ended. I do hope i get another chance to read the rest of the series
