Jo is the one Notaro sister who resists her legacy the most, while her protector, Vinnie, has his own issues to contend with. Can they both overcome their insecurities before Jo's life is forfeit?
Three decades. Two continents. One secret... that could cost him everything.
Too. Many. Secrets... and Vinnie Falco is buried in them. He loves his job. All his jobs. His first job is VP of the Legal Department for MDH, an international corporation where he works with the guys who have been his brothers since his childhood at the orphanage in Italy. His second job is with the Medici Protectorate, specifically the Brotherhood, where he and his brothers protect the Notaro sisters from the unknown factions trying to assassinate them. His third job is working undercover as a construction worker so he can keep an eye on Jo Notaro, his charge—the Notaro sister whose fiery temperament matches her boundless energy and unparalleled beauty.
Jo can’t stand the endless scrutiny, the constant observation. She hates to be the center of attention. But when Vinnie’s ever-watchful gaze lingers on her, it’s as if she can feel his touch. And she runs from it, because she doesn’t know if she loathes it or loves it.nbsp;
All Jo’s running puts her in constant peril, and Vinnie always brings her back—into the fold, into the family, into his arms. But he has a secret in his past that he’s trying desperately to hide. In the end, Vinnie’s secret may come to light and Jo may run too far for Vinnie to save her.
