Alessia Bianchi was born into the mafia life.

She’s as close to a boss as any female in the family will ever be.

She’s also a widow who has never been in love.

She serves the family loyally, but she has her secrets.

Secrets that let her run barefoot through a forest with a man in a mask hot on her heels.

She’s safe. The game makes sure of that.

He can chase her, but he can’t touch her.

The problem is that the more time she spends hunted by her stranger in the woods, the more she wants to be captured.

When her two lives collide and ultimatums are drawn, Alessia learns that love might not be forged in the innocence of her righteous deceit.

Diego Greco may be ten years younger than her, but he’s more man than she’s ever known, and by forcing his hand, she’ll learn the hard way that he finally has his prey right where he wants her.
